Shoutout to the cashier at Taco Bell who watched me drown my Crunchwrap in Diablo sauce every week for 6 months

She finally leaned over the counter last Tuesday and whispered 'you know the chicken shell is way better with the creamy jalapeno sauce' and now I realize I was just using hot sauce to cover up how dry the beef is.

Wait, are you telling me there's been a taco bell employee angel looking out for you this whole time? Because that's basically what happened to me at my local Del Taco but with the burrito. I was loading up on their green sauce for like a year straight and one day the lady just goes "have you tried the red sauce with the carne asada?" and it literally changed my life. I was just using hot sauce to make up for the fact that I was ordering the wrong meat every single time. It's wild how long we'll just suffer through something when we could have just asked for help. The shame of all those weeks of bad choices is real but the revelation is totally worth it.

you know the chicken shell is way better with the creamy jalapeno sauce" - that line is going to haunt me for weeks because it means I've been out here looking like a fool with my sad dry beef mess. I spent six months thinking I was a taco bell connoisseur but I was just the guy with anger management issues and a sauce packet dependency. The chicken shell thing is actually genius though, I tried it yesterday and now I'm mad at my past self for being too proud to accept help from a fast food angel. Honestly I probably would have kept eating dirt-level beef forever if she didn't drop that wisdom on me.

Nah, sorry @blake_cooper but I actually think the beef is better here. The chicken shell thing gets way too greasy for me and the creamy jalapeno just masks the fact that you're eating a soggy mess by the last two bites. I tried it twice to make sure I wasn't missing something and both times I ended up regretting my life choices while scraping tortilla bits off the wrapper. The beef at least holds its structure and lets the hot sauce do the talking instead of drowning everything in creamy goop. You do you but I'm sticking with my dirt pile, no shame here.
