9. Chicken Quesadilla

It may be the bread and butter plainness of Taco Bell, but it has that delicious factor we seek.

No matter how many new tacos, new flavors and new options Taco Bell adds to the menu, this will always be like the old reliable.

You know it’s there and it tastes great. It is a staple of the experience of Taco Bell. Don’t forget to add the jalapeño sauce to really kick it up a notch. 


8. The Meximelt

Okay, so it’s basically an overdramatized beef taco, but we aren’t complaining. It is a warm soft taco with a perfect amount of gooeyness.

It is one of the more pricey options on the list but if you order it as a beefy mini quesadilla with only meat and cheese, you can snag it for under a dollar.

Freezes are the best. Non-alcoholic and sugary, and also marked down for three hours during the Taco Bell ‘Happy Hour’, the world does not give them the recognition they deserve.
