Recreating The WORST Food in Taco Bell History

[@andrewwestfall65]

Former Taco Bell worker. The way you make the salad shell is to drop it flat in the oil and then use the mold to push it down. It will naturally want to float and fold around the mold, fry until crispy.

[@ScottBaker_]

Same. I was there when they introduced the taco salad and did all the frying. This was sooooo painful to watch.

[@jacobmcclenny1602]

I worked at DQ Texas, that's the same way They made it there too

yup it will float up into the shell maker and keep its shape

[@Degenerecy]

Was gonna comment this. You can use anything that is oil/heat safe to make these. We have smaller fryer baskets and I use the side of that to make these things, square yes but it works. So yea, throw the tortilla in the oil and place whatever your using on it and form them. Let buoyancy do all the work for you, or at least most of it.

[@werewolf425]

as someone who use to work at tacobell when the taco salad exsisted this is exactly how it was done.

Lou Groen was actually the inventor of Filet O Fish! He was a franchise owner in the Cincinnati, Ohio area (which is heavily Catholic) and my head boss when I worked at McDonald’s for 3 years in high school. He insisted on hand-signing all of our pay checks and would visit our store often. He passed away in 2011, RIP! Waaaay better than the Hula Burger pineapple sandwich they had prior, I’m sure!

🐠 POLLOCK: Pollock is a member of the cod family. They can grow as long as 3 feet but typically reach lengths between 12 and 20 inches and weigh between 1 and 3 pounds. They have speckled coloring that helps them blend in with the seafloor to avoid predators. 🐝 POLLEN: Pollen is essential for sexual reproduction of flowering plants and plants that produce cones. Each pollen grain contains male gametes necessary for fertilisation.

[@butre.]

@@DaTimmeh oh trust me, this place is even cheaper than taco bell. I don't know how they do it but the beef is even worse and taco shells are often quite rancid. there's a single alteration to the recipe that makes it though, and it's the addition of a salad dressing. I have no idea what the dressing is but it seems like one of those mayo with red stuff in it types of dressing. it's made in house as far as I can tell, sometimes it's a bit spicier than usual and that's when it's perfect it's one of their best sellers and people are often astonished to discover that

[@aprilpettay]

Former Taco Bell employee here. To fry the taco salad shell, you use two of the fryer molds and place the tortilla between them while frying.

[@yetinother]

You can use just one by throwing the tortilla straight in first and then pushing down with one mold as the tortilla will float and try to form around the, but the two mold method works best for consistency, but sacrifices being able to do two of them at once

[@anti-ethniccleansing465]

Home cooks don’t need _ANY_ molds besides a freaking saucepan, nor do they need to waste a shitload of oil! I learned how to do this through *extensive research,* and it was more than worth the time. These come out perfect! *INSTRUCTIONS:* Preheat oven to 350° Put frying pan to medium high heat with about 2 tablespoons of oil - after it is heated up, fry the _FLOUR TORTILLA_ for 50 seconds on each side (this is _NOT_ to be done with corn tortillas!). Make sure that the tortilla is fully coated with the oil. Keep moving the tortilla around so that the oil is all over it. After you have fried the tortilla for 50 seconds on each side, IMMEDIATELY mold it into an oven safe bowl/saucepan/pot to shape it before it hardens up. Put that container on a cookie sheet if it doesn’t have a handle, and put all of that in the oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until it is nice and golden. That’s it! It is _PERFECT!_

[@wesley8599]

​@@anti-ethniccleansing465 waste oil? Could easily do this process with used oil and a medium sauce pan and a strainer in 7 minutes....

[@BeastrealDT]

I worked at Taco Bell the summer of '86, when they introduced the salads and fajitas. They was a taco salad and seafood salad, which I liked. Black Olives came on the salads, enchoritos, burrito supreme and Mexican pizza. Which was originally called the Pizzaz Pizza. ✌️

[@LilyJaneH]

It certainly isn’t keto, but a sort of fish-based cake does already exist. It doesn’t always have fish, but Swedish smörgåstårta can have shrimp, crab, herring (smoked, pickled, or otherwise) and/or smoked salmon. Shrimp and smoked salmon are especially popular.

[@nooneinparticular469]

[@Endquire]

Josh needs to look up smörgåstårta because I am surprised I've never heard him mention one, they've surprisingly haven't used the idea for anything I can recall, and it is about as close to a cake made with seafood as you are likely to get. They seem like a great format for so many things.

Love this show -- and hated the Taco Bell seafood salad when it came out back in the 80s! Just for the record, though: pollen is not bee poop (5:30). It's a powdery substance that attracts bees, who transfers from plant to plant (pollenation) that helps regenerate the plants. But Josh and Trevor were (kinda) close -- bees also collect nectar, and that is (technically) bee puke, as they regurgitate it into honeycombs to make honey.

[@nicholem4831]

I’ve never fried a whole tortilla in order to make a tostada shell, but as I’m watching Josh and Trevor struggle with frying it, my common sense alarm is going off and telling me the tortilla should have been placed in the pot of oil, with the form immediately pressing it down into the oil. This eliminates the need for multiple tools in the oil and uses the natural frying movements to keep the tortilla pressed around the form, instead of floating away from the form like it did in the vid. But thats just the way I would do it, idk if that’s the proper way lol.
