not okay.

So I was having leftovers from the rice'n'beans (see previous recipe!) and I was going for the Taco Bell sauce, and found ketchup in the bowl we normally reserve for Taco Bell sauce.  This was disturbing.  However, it also made me think about how there are no other fast food places that have free sauces that are nearly as good as Taco Bell <3

its been a while.

We're back!!!  Sorry for the lack of posts- it's been busy with finals, and AW has been drunk a lot lately, and keeps forgetting to post her recipes.  But we've been going strong with the taco bell sauce, and our commitment to furthering public knowledge of how good these sauces are has never wavered!

Here's a great recipe that's super easy, and tastes awesome-mostly because of the taco bell sauce :)

Rice'n'Beans...chihuahua style
You will need:
Rice
Canned black beans (preferably in seasoned sauce)
Salsa
Onion (optional)
Garlic paste (optional)
Taco Bell sauce of choice

Make the rice.  Should be easy enough.  Basically boil twice as much water as you have rice, then add the rice and turn the heat low with the lid covered.  Just don't burn it!

Add a little bit of oil to a pan, and heat on high.  Add diced onions and a little garlic paste, and sautee for a few minutes until the onions are translucent.

Add 1 can of black beans -don't bother draining it or anything, especially if you got the seasoned kind!  Add two tablespoons of salsa, and stir occasionally on high heat, until it's the consistency you want.  Then add in the taco bell sauce- you'll need a lot because the beans cancel out the spiciness, but it's so worth it!

Definitely try this one- you can add cheese to it too, and it tastes great.  It's so easy, and fills you up!

Keep sending us your recipes and pictures!!

Happy VDAY tomorrow!

So we know, it's a bit early to post about Valentines Day (it is after all tomorrow)...But we have something important to share.

Listen, roses, chocolate, swarovski crystals they're all...OK presents we GUESS....
but if you want to be creative, and show him/her that you care, and that you find your significant other worthy of something special, take them to taco bell for dinner. If you are taking your lady friend, sneak some sauce packets into her purse(make sure they haven't been opened yet, trust us).

Most restaurant meals cost over $5 dollars anyways, who wants to pay that kind money? Plus it's hard to get a reservation if you haven't made one already.
If you don't have anyone to celebrate the day with, enough of this crying- over-sappy-love-movies thing that we know you do, and go feel sexy!! Put on your hottest outfit, a dab of hot sauce lip gloss (see earlier posts) and treat yourself to a nice meal. A 99 cent burrito and supersize soda.

So screw the traditional Valentines Day and have a special one tomorrow.
You're welcome.

Note: If you want to show us love and bring us flowers, jewels, and/or candy underwear please email us privately.

hotter than wasabi.

Sorry it's been so long since our last posts.  We've just been basking in the fame and glory of our new-found calling in society, through the success of our blog.  Well big news- we are being featured in a documentary!  A contributor from Atlanta, GA provided us with an excellent recipe idea and filmed the making of it for a mock news report class project. 

Here's the recipe we used in the feature.

"TBell Sushi Rolls"
You will need:
99 cent bean burritos
A sharp knife
Mexican cheese blend
Bell peppers, onions, green chilies, and cilantro diced
Taco Bell sauce!

Preheat a toaster oven to 400˚F.  Cut the bean burritos into one inch slices- each burrito should give you about 5 rolls.  Mush them into smaller cylinders so that they look like real sushi rolls.  Add a pinch of Mexican cheese on top of each and bake at 400˚F for about 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the tortilla looks slightly crisp.  Take them out of the oven, and add a pinch of the bell pepper, onion, chili, and cilantro mixture onto each one.  Top with your favorite Taco Bell sauce, and enjoy!!

This literally takes a few minutes, the price is unbeatable, it turns out looking professional, and tastes delicious, so definitely give this one a try!  Thanks again to our contributors, and as always, send us your recipes, ideas, pictures, and more!!

 They were so good, we made another batch!!

Random Thought of The Day: Graduating

If this whole figuring- out- our -lives thing for next year doesn't pan out, maybe the two of us could be the new spokeswomen for Taco Bell?

A Jerry of Subway- esque figure, someone who has undergone a great transformation. Someone to look up to! An inspiration!

We have been eating the Taco Bell Sauce literally three times a day for the last month or so (and ate there so many times last semester). We plan to continue doing this until the sauce packets are recalled due to lab results that reveal chemicals, asbestos, or/and endangered animal particles. Still, friends and family. Please every time you see us take a good look...

1. If we look better- we can somehow advertise the sauce's effects on beauty. Plus WE LOVE THE SAUCE

2. If we look worse (hair thinning, a greenish tint in the eyes, chronic spicy breath) we can sue and spend the rest of our days laying on our backs in Barbados sipping away on Pina Coladas with a dash of Mild Sauce                                      

  Win/Win.





             

After eating 365 days straight of the Verde Sauce

east meets...south?

Hey!  Okay, so you know how you buy random frozen foods thinking you'll eat them, but then forget they exist, and months go by before you find them again?  Well no worries, because here's a trick to turn even the most random freezer foods into a delicious snack!

So I found half a box of frozen spring rolls in the freezer that I'd forgotten about till today.  Being a college student, I wasn't going to dismiss the discovery of food in my apartment, so I thought they might taste good with...you guessed it- Taco Bell sauce!

Ingredients:
Whatever you find in the freezer
Taco Bell sauce

Cook as directed and go crazy with the sauce!!

I went with the Fire and Verde sauces to make my own version of sweet and spicy.  The Asian spring roll taste with the Mexican flavors were a great blend.  Enjoy rediscovering the wonders of random frozen foods!

"the pittsburgh left turn."

Today's recipe is from a featured contributor in Pittsburgh!  This one serves a bunch, so if you want to wow a crowd, this is the dish- and I bet no one will know it has Taco Bell sauces in it!  I hope you like it!

Ingredients:
1 cup green/brown lentils
1 cup bulgar wheat
1 large onion
1 large green bell pepper
1/2 cup chunky salsa
8oz sour cream
8oz + 4 oz grated cheddar cheese
12 large tortillas
Enchilada sauce (2 small cans or 1 large can)
Taco Bell Sauce!

Spices:
cumin, taco seasoning, garlic powder, chili powder, etc.

Add 1 cup lentils to 3 cups water, simmer for 30 mins or until soft.  Add seasoning!
Bring 2 1/2 cups of water to a boil, remove from heat and add bulgur wheat. Add seasoning! Let stand covered for 30 mins.

MEANWHILE:

Finely chop and saute onion and pepper (can also add red bell pepper if you want-the more colors the merrier!).  Grate 8oz cheese and mix with sour cream in a bowl.  Set aside the other 4oz of grated cheese.  Prepare a 9x13 pan by spreading enchilada sauce on the bottom and sides.  Preheat oven to 400.  Mix lentil, bulgur, onions, peppers, and salsa together.  Set up a large plate where you can coat both sides of tortilla with sauce.

Fill tortilla with generous amounts of lentil mixture, top with cheese+sour cream mixture, roll up and place in pan.  Repeat until out of filling or enchiladas.  Pour extra enchilada sauce on top and add Taco Bell sauce liberally, and top with cheese.  Bake at 400 for 15-20 mins, or until cheese is bubbly.  Now devour.

Take pictures if you make this yummy recipe! Also, another benefit of taco bell sauce: cheap art supplies! AC is a better artist than me, she'll post some of her pictures later.

don't eat more chikn.

What's with all the bad press lately about how 65% of Taco Bell beef is not actually beef?  We have a beef with that.  Here's why:

-When you buy watermelon Gushers, they're not 65% watermelon.
-When you buy a Happy Meal, it's not 65% happy.
-When you buy 2% milk, it's not 65% milk.
-When you buy a grape lollipop, it's not 65% grape.  That would be gross.
-When you buy beer, it's not 65% alcohol.  Go with Absinthe.
-When you buy yogurt raisins, they're not 65% yogurt.

So try arguing with that logic, haters.

And we're not the only one's sticking with Taco Bell- check out the sauce collection of today's featured contributor from the ATL, Amol!  Some may confuse this collection with kleptomania, but when it comes to Taco Bell sauces, you can never have enough!  Think you have a collection to rival this one?  No one's gonna believe it until you send us a picture!!

Taco Bell Sizzling Hot Lipgloss

Ingredients: *lip balm
                  * Taco Bell Verde Sauce, Hot Sauce, Fire Sauce and Mild Sauce

Forgot to put on makeup? Hop by Taco Bell and get some sauces

So with the help of the incredible and versatile taco bell sauces, we have invented a lip gloss that is guaranteed to plump your lips, taste delicious, and numb your lips in case you decide to get them pierced.

You start off with a lip balm on the lips to protect yourself from the burn of the sauces, and then dab some hot sauce on your finger and smear on! Enjoy!

Testers and their partners tried it out (okay fine, I kissed my hand) and reported feeling a mild stinging sensation but a delicious after taste.  With the different flavors not only do you get a different shade, but a nice smell that will be guaranteed to go well with your favorite perfume.

Flavors:
Verde: A nice green color for a funky new look. Also good if you want to fake a sick day.
Fire: Creates big plump red lips for that first date
Mild: a sweet little gloss, tastes sweet and spicy on the lips
Fire Roasted: A pretty plum color.

The third sauce i tried, by now my lips have swelled, and they still have a slight ...well uncomfortable sensation

Mild Sauce:  a nice sheer. Starts to drip off the mouth though

Verde didn't do much, just acted like a nice little gloss

Fire Sauce: Okay maybe the fake vegetable chunks get in the way of the sexiness, but it tastes delicious

Let us know if you try it out and take some pictures! Sauces will drip ,so pair these glosses with a dark top.

the first one. and man is it spicy.

Welcome!  We're so glad that you've stumbled by our blog, unless you're our friends, in which case we probably bugged you about it so much, you had to see what all the fuss was. We explained the premise of this blog in the "About Me" section, so we'll take it from there.

Tonight's dinner was a spicy stir-fry noodle dish called the "Schezuan Slammer," which consisted of the ingredients shown below.

You will need:
-Frozen stir-fry veggies
-Fettuccine pasta
-Stir-fry sauce
-Oil
-Garlic paste (optional)
-Cilantro (optional)
-Taco Bell Sauce!

Cook the pasta til it's al dente- it'll cook some more once it's with the veggies.  Heat some oil and add garlic paste when the oil is hot.  Then throw in the frozen veggies and let them cook on high heat until they're not soggy.

Add the stiry-fry sauce and continue to cook the veggies until they look crisp and they taste good.  Then add in the pasta and more sauce as needed.  Now garnish with some cilantro and add the Taco Bell sauce!  I went with Mild today, because the stir-fry sauce was already really spicy.

It tasted SO good!  The Schezuan sauce and the Taco Bell sauce tasted surprisingly great together, and it was very filling.  I'm already excited about the leftovers!  I hope you guys enjoy this one, and if you have an idea, recipe, song, picture, or anything about taco bell sauces and would like to be featured, email us at the address on the side!
