Taco Bell’s Gordita Crunch copycat, trust me you won’t miss taco bell with this one!! It is so simple to make at home. I especially love the spicy ranch sauce, you can use this in my other taco bell recipes as well like: Mexican Pizza, Baja Chalupas. You all know my love for taco bell is so real. I’m going to try and make most of their recipes at home, you all love it, we love it as well so it’s a win all around!
Gordita crunch is basically a soft taco and a hard taco that is held together by cheese, filled with beans, lots of fresh veggies, and doused in the spicy ranch sauce. Quarantine has made me make so many take out and restaurant food at home, and I’m not mad about it!! A lot of these recipes are in our weekly rotations. Having it at home means we can truly control the quality of our ingredients. So I’m here for it!!! The Gordita crunch pairs so well with the Fiesta Potatoes.
I hope you all enjoy this as much as we do. Don’t forget to tag me when you have your taco bell night @zheelicious!! I can’t wait to see your creations.
Stay happy, stay hungry!
