Taco Bell Beefy 5 Layer Burrito
I had such high hopes for this burrito. Taco Bell had been so successful in the past with incorporating a "hidden" layer of cheese in their products (the Cheesy Gordita Crunch is an all-time fave), but this was a real let down. I should have known from the ingredients listed that the burrito would be a disappointment: beans, beef, cheese, sour cream, and nacho cheese. There was nothing to give this burrito any kick or distinct flavor, instead the nacho cheese and sour cream combined to form an overpowering yet somehow bland mush that would be better suited at a senior center. At the excellent 89 cent price point, it's a shame this couldn't be a winner, as the burrito is quite substantial and would have been a valuable component in my under five dollar Taco Bell meals.
Phoood rating: 
I totally agree with you. I had them cut the sour cream because I just don't want those calories, and I couldn't tell the difference between this burrito and the regular one. Except for the weight-it IS pretty big! Don't get this one, get something else.

The second bite was to confirm the first.
Personally I respect your thought, but I actually love their new 5 layer burrito but I order it without sour cream so I don't know If changes the "mush" taste at all
