welcome to peep this out reviews with Ian K stay frosty
hey everyone welcome back to another high quality foodie feature for you here on the channel
this time over at taco bell on a cold and rainy day for the return of a long overdue
menu favorite now available for a limited time only and this time around we've got a
new variation of it as well as an upgrade that's right and you already know what it is guys feast
your eyes on the return of the quesalupa and in this case it's the black bean variant and
i'm already digging the toastiness on the outside of the shell guys look at all that cheese already
so getting into the details on what this one has to offer what you're looking at here is
a nice crispy chalupa shell that's loaded with melted pepper jack and mozzarella cheese that's
apparently been upgraded 50% more than the last time around and as for the inside we've got the
usual suspects lots of lettuce we've got some diced tomato reduced fat sour cream and on the
very bottom we've got black beans substituting out for the beef and guys i'm definitely digging
this already there's a lot of goodness on the inside of the shell so yeah i'm already digging
the appearance of this one already just with the goodness on the outside of the shell guys this is
actually very reminiscent of the toasted cheddar chalupa which had that cheese on the outside as
well but we've got a lot of goodness on the inside to get into and i can't wait to do it
and honestly what better time is there to do this review right now than in the middle of a
rainstorm guys i've got a lot of toasty goodness the car smells fantastic it's raining outside
can't wait to get into this all right i think i've said that i think two or three times
now let's finally get into it it is the black bean quesalupa here at taco bell let's do it
mmm
lots of crunchy cheese yeah the accent of the crunchy cheese on the outside dovetails right
into all the filling that you're gonna get on the inside of this and the black beans have a
very strong flavor as well i love the black beans over here at taco bell they're pretty
awesome and of course the coolness of the sour cream not quite into the cheese just
yet but before i take a second bite let me see if you guys can kind of see where it's
at there on the bottom as it focuses in you can kind of see it's beginning to come into play
with this one here and so far it is very very tasty let's keep going in guys very very good
well i'm not getting any real cheese pull on this one but there is a lot of flavor coming
from the jack and the mozzarella guys and as you guys can see here what's really lighting
this one up is all the crunchies on the outside i think that's one of the main
actually upgrades on this there's a lot more than i remember seeing the last time around
i don't remember it being this colorful on the outside but guys look on the inside there and
as you can see around the shell that cheese layer is pretty present it's just not stringy the way i
would like it but considering it's raining outside i'm not gonna hate on it too much and the reason
why i'm not gonna hate on it so much is because the flavor is out of this world guys it really
is very reminiscent of what i reviewed a few years back and if you guys are curious about that review
you're gonna see it popping up on your screen here right now take a look at the taco bell playlist
you'll find the breakfast variant of this as well this is actually a signature item over here and
i'm surprised they waited this long to bring this back but i guess they had to perfect what
they needed to do like i said the crunchiness on the outside of this one is setting the tone with
everything else as you're biting into that the crunch is apparent all the flavors are apparent
and then you get into the nice overall cheesy goodness a very lovely situation let's go for
a couple more bites really really good even with the tomato believe it or not all right here we go
that is so delicious yeah i'm not digging the fact that there's no real cheese pull
with this one but let me see if i can kind of pull a little of this apart for you
as it begins to go you can kind of see it on the inside of the shell itself guys but honestly the
flavor is there and it really does feel like it's dispersed all throughout this right now it's not
kind of limiting the way it was the last time out at least my opinion of it some of the reviews i've
seen of this one back in the day had a lot more cheese pull action but the distribution of the
cheese was lopsided so you got a lot more shell on one side a lot of cheese in the other thankfully
so far as i'm getting further into this it seems to be prevalent across the board i'm just not
getting the pull that i would like but the flavor is there that's the most important thing really
tasty mmm yeah it's definitely spread out nicely lots of mozzarella and pepper jack flavor on that
so yeah guys a very lovely situation indeed and again this really kind of feels almost like the
toasted cheddar chalupa but with an extra cheese layer thrown into the mix and i'm really digging
that the black beans are really a lovely situation with this i'm not missing the beef at all so you
can probably substitute a different protein if you wanted to i wanted to try the black bean obviously
because that is the newer variant and i'm really digging the overall flavor it goes amazing with
all the cheesy goodness on this and like i said guys an easy recommendation if you're a fan of
this already you're going to know you're going to be jumping over to give this a go loveliness guys
loveliness you know i'd almost ventured against there's a little bit of cheddar action that's
on the outside of that that's kind of giving it that cheesy crunchiness there even though it's
not in the description of this one in particular that is absolutely an orange type of cheese and
i'm loving that guys very very tasty it adds a nice accent to what the quesalupa offers already
so with that said i'm going to have to give the black bean variant of the returning quesalupa a
rock solid 9 out of 10 guys it is virtually a 10 out of 10 my only hit with it is that i'm
not getting that pull that i would have liked to have seen but the cheese is pretty prevalent it
is all throughout there and even though 50% more is what they're claiming the upgrade is i think
it's mostly on the outside if you ask me even though everything is kind of even on the inside
it could be just a better variation of it that's being made but guys it is an improvement and it
is super delicious i think you're gonna dig it in fact i'm so sure you're probably gonna dig it drop
some comments down below and let me know if you swung over to taco bell already to give this one
a go and if you did give it a shot do you remember it from a few years ago is this a better variant
for you and more importantly did you try it with black beans i'm very curious to know about that
drop those comments down below and definitely let me know all right before i get washed away
