      If they put that little cheese on warm meat, everyone would be back inside saying, “I didn’t get any cheese, look.”

      If they put the lettuce on top, isn’t that just going to fall all over?

          Taco Bell cheese wouldn’t melt in the microwave. You want “melty cheese” there, get the nacho sauce.

            I’m sorry but what?

            It’ll melt on the 30m drive from the nearest TB to my house, it melts when I reheat tacos from the taco box no problem

            I used to order them without lettuce when I used to go there, and it’ll melt on the ride home. Won’t be pretty or good, but it’ll do

        Solution: put neither cheese nor lettuce on top. Don’t ask me what SHOULD be on top though, I don’t have my masters in taco engineering…yet.

        Cheese Meat Lettuce

        The meat would weigh down the lettuce and the cheese would get melty from being on the hot meat. In theory, I’ve been making mine the same way as taco bell because I always just assumed that was how it was done.

    I’ll never understand why they don’t just put the cheese directly on top if the meat so it gets all melty and delicious. That’s how I do my tacos at home: It goes meat, cheese, hot sauce, lettuce, cilantro, then pico, in that order. Don’t forget to fry shells yourself using corn tortillas. Don’t buy that pre-made Old El Paso bullshit.

    And now I want to make tacos.

      The real answer is because they don’t look as good. Marketing decided they look sad and pathetic if all you can see is lettuce, since the amount of cheese and meat is so small anyways. They want you to SEE it has cheese. They don’t care if you can’t taste it because it’s on your lap.

      I put the cheese first, then meat on top to melt it and make the meat stick to the tortilla.

    The far superior Crunchwrap Supreme was practically engineered to solve every case of taco mishap imaginable. Crunchy, tasty, and sh*t doesn’t fly everywhere when you bite into it. It even keeps your hands relatively clean. If you must eat in your car, this is the way to go.

    The only flaw is it doesn’t have a good way to inject hot/medium/mild sauce into the envelope, and I’m pretty sure you can’t order it prepared that way.

      You can. I worked at Taco Bell, and our managerial training had/has an entire module that boils down to: “if we can reasonably do it, and the customer asks, then do it.”

      I can’t believe I never thought to ask it prepared that way. This makes the crunch wrap such a more inviting option for me.

        That’s the one with the soft taco shell bean-glued to the outside? Solid compromise to prevent taco-shell shrapnel from ejecting all over your lap. Doesn’t fix OP’s cheese problem though.

          I mean every taco I eat I just kinda push it all down a little bit and it’s usually fine

    Cheese on top is OK, just gotta melt it. Acts as a sorta glue. Without melting? Yeah get fucked

    The taco is just an objectively inferior vessel for transporting food to your mouth. It has two whole open sides that are level with it’s base and it’s open to the air all across the top. It wouldn’t matter what you put on top. It will still spill out. You have to turn your head 90 degrees horizontal to eat a damn taco. Burritos are superior.

      Burrito baby, wrap that taco in swaddling clothes.

        Thats because Taco Bell is disgusting. The thought of eating that garbage is even nastier then eating in your car.

          There’s some video out on YouTube where the guy eats it for like a month straight and actually does alright. Apparently they’ve been sneakily swapping out ingredients to make it healthier over an extended period of time. So feel better about eating it! (/s?)
