Taco Bell XXL Steak Nachos

TBXXLnachos.jpgTaco Bell is bringing out the “XXL” label again, this time with the XXL Steak Nachos. Taco Bell’s nacho offerings have always been on the small side, more of a snack than a meal. With the XXL Steak Nachos, you probably won’t have to order anything else to get a full belly. The container that the nachos are served in is impressive. It’s about a foot long and around seven inches wide. Inside, you’ll find tortilla chips covered with refried beans, cheese, nacho cheese sauce, steak, reduced-fat sour cream, guacamole, and pico de gallo. The flavors were what I’ve come to expect from Taco Bell; there’s nothing new here. The nachos contained a fairly generous amount of steak, which was juicy and had a good flavor. The weak link here is the reduced-fat sour cream. It tastes like, well, reduced-fat sour cream. I don’t think anyone who is eating the XXL Steak Nachos is really watching their caloric intake very closely, so Taco Bell should just use regular (high fat) sour cream and make the XXL Nachos taste better. At $5.99, I think the XXL Steak Nachos are at least a dollar overpriced, even considering the portion size. You’ll have to decide if a big pile of nachos is worth this price.
