While we all may be doing our part to stay home, that definitely doesn’t mean our fast-food cravings suddenly disappeared overnight. Who better to keep us satisfied than good ol’ Taco Bell? As the restaurant safely serves customers through its contactless drive-thrus, this seems like the perfect time to stop by for its new golden child: the Cravings Pack.
What’s in a Cravings Pack?
This fantastic new addition to the Taco Bell menu features four crunchy tacos (beef, lettuce and cheddar in a hard shell) and four beefy five-layer burritos (beef, cheddar, sour cream, beans and nacho cheese sauce wrapped up in a flour tortilla). For $10, that’s an absolute steal.
Have an extra minute? Prep this homemade guacamole before you head to the drive-thru, so the flavors will be all married up by the time you’re back with the Cravings Pack. Then slather it on everything at chow time.
What’s for Dessert?
Now that you can officially check one of your evening to-do’s off the list, it’s time to think about the next step—dessert. Although Taco Bell’s Cinnamon Twists are a given, maybe in your excited rush to get your Cravings Pack, you forgot to order them. Fear not! Try these cinnamon crescent twists for a fun after-dinner family (or solo) activity. If you’re fresh out of crescent rolls, try one of these Mexican desserts instead.
The Cravings Pack is available at participating restaurants nationwide, so make sure to check online or call ahead to your local Taco Bell to secure yours as soon as possible. Just think about all that beefy, cheesy, Fire-Saucy goodness. What are you waiting for?
