Taco Bell’s Tacky Rooster Crispanada contains a crispy pastry dough full of seasoned shredded hen and melted three-cheese mix. It comes with a cup of Spicy Ranch for dipping. It is mainly Taco Bell’s tackle a savory empanada.
I paid $3.79 for one.
The Crispanada is fairly small. It jogged my memory of the Beef Crunchito (which now that I give it some thought is a bizarre title for a taco) in measurement. It was roughly about 3/4 of the dimensions of a daily taco however a bit plumper.
Just like the discontinued Caramel Apple Empanada earlier than it, the Tacky Rooster Crispanada sported a skinny, bubbly coating on one facet of its flaky, pastry crust. The coating was tremendous crispy with an audible cracking whenever you chew into or break it. It is in all probability essentially the most distinctive facet of the brand new quick meals menu merchandise.
I broke open the Crispanada rigorously and it was heat inside. The hen was tender and juicy. It wasn’t all that meaty in texture although because it largely got here in small shreds. The cheese and seasoning melted collectively right into a pale orange goo that occasional spilled out as I ate. You in all probability wish to watch out in the event you’re consuming one among these within the automobile.
Taste-wise, the filling was tacky with a savory seasoning to it. On condition that, the default of Spicy Ranch dipping sauce appeared a little bit of an odd determination as Taco Bell’s Spicy Ranch is generally creamy and tangy with only a trace of warmth (then once more most of their dipping sauce choices are mayo-based). I like to recommend simply consuming it with one among Taco Bell’s scorching sauce packets for extra of a distinction. I needed to be cautious making an attempt to dip the Crispanada because the hen would threaten to fall out.
Total, Taco Bell’s Tacky Rooster Crispanada was tasty, tacky, and crispy however is a bit expensive for what quantities to a snack merchandise. As compared, Taco Bell’s Mushy Taco with hen is across the identical measurement for $2.49, whereas the three Cheese Rooster Flatbread Soften contains extra hen for $2.49.
