Taco Bell is an American fast-food chain known for its rich and delicious Mexican rifled food items. It is a subsidiary of Yum! Brands were founded by Glen Bell in 1962. It is headquartered in Irvine, California, The US, with over 7,000 chain stores and 350 franchisees known worldwide. Its slogan was introduced in 2012 “Live More”, which inculcated the idea of being more lively and exploring more things in life. The most popular item on their menu that has won the hearts of millions is Burrito Supreme, which is made of beef, refried beans, tomatoes, onions, lettuce, red sauce, cheese, and sour cream wrapped up inside a warm tortilla.
Why Did Taco Bell Discontinue The Taco Salad?
Taco Bell’s taco fiesta salad was a crunchy tortilla bowl made of ground beef with refried beans, served with tortilla strips and topped with tomato, lettuce, onions, cheese, and sour cream that everyone loved. It stopped selling in the market because it was not exactly an ideal healthy dish to be called a salad. It contained a lot of calories and the tortilla shells prepared early in the morning turned stale by the nighttime, which led to stopping Taco Salad. The workers also found that the shells could not be used for any other item either. Hence, they believed stopping the taco salad would be the best idea to save money, effort, and resources. Taco Bell also removed further items during the start of the pandemic to bring an evolution in their menu and bring creative changes in consumers’ liking by making more space for new items.
Can you still get taco salad in any other way?
Yes! Luckily, they made slight changes in their menu to keep up with a yummy dish that everybody preferred. So, instead of selling the taco salad in the tortilla shells, they started to sell the dish in a bowl in the name of Power Super Bowl. If you prefer to have the fresh salad from the tortilla shells, you can go and buy a pack of 4 taco shells at Krogers for $5 or a pack of 4 shells for $2.80 at Walmart.

Conclusion
Taco Bell has grown and always tried to be creative and innovative. They focus on building a good image and saving labor and costs on items that could go to waste. As they learned that healthy food had to not only look healthy but also taste good, they stopped selling a few items on their menu that were usually cooked in the morning and were sold up until nighttime. Despite fans raising a dispute against discontinuing the taco salad, Taco Bell stopped selling them and replaced the same dish in a bowl instead of adding them to the tortilla shells that went stale. Their innovative dishes have no end and before your favorite dish goes out of order, grab them and enjoy them while you can.
