It was inevitable: Taco Bell releases the Doritos taco shell

Posted by Kevin Warwick on 10.04.11 at 06:37 PM

"This is really happening."

It's only hit Bakersfield and "Fres-Yes" in California thus far, but the taco shell made entirely of nacho cheese Doritos has become a reality. And of course, the Doritos Locos Taco (yes, that's the name) has predictably spawned an equally ridiculous commercial. I particularly like when the amped actor pulls the taco out of a Doritos bag with a look like, "Can you believe you're actually going to eat this?"

Check it out after the jump:

As the Awl put it: Absurd Taco Bell Dorito Taco Shell Is Corporate America's Most Abstract Commentary On The Absence Of Authenticity To Date

I happened to learn after this post went live that today is in fact National Taco Day. Pretty nice coincidence, don't you think?.

Korn is from Bakersfield. This taco would be an ideal snack while cruising in your Ford Taurus while Fieldy's Dreams is blasting in the stereo.

This actually sounds like a fantastic idea. It would be even better as a double-decker.

It was about time ! Taco bell making junk food even junkier, who'd have ever thought someone can create a taco shell with doritos wow such a crazy idea. I wonder if it will be nacho cheese or even ranch flavor?

If this was at a fine dining restaurant it'd be called "playful" and "avant-garde."
