When a Taco Bell craving pops up — and it will — how will you answer the call? Load up the kids and get the whole family tacos? Order it for delivery? Try to wait and see if the craving passes?! Wouldn’t it be better if you already had your own personal Taco Bell dupe at home you could heat up instead? Yes, yes it would, which is why Costco’s latest frozen food item has us salivating. It is similar to one of the fast food brand’s famous offerings, and we can’t wait to stock up for a rainy day.
You may prefer soft tacos or hard-shell, chalupas or chimichangas, but the one item we can all agree on is Taco Bell’s delicious Mexican Pizza. It’s made with beef, cheese, beans, tomatoes, and Mexican pizza sauce, with the option to add a variety of toppings like lettuce, pico, and more. The delicious personal pizza features two layers of yumminess, but at $5.39 each, it can cost a small fortune to feed your entire family. That’s why Costco’s version is perfect.
Instagram user @costco.so.obsessed shared photos of this new find online. The Dos Banditos Foods Mexican-Inspired Layered Pizzas comes with six personal Mexican pizzas for just $18.89. Their version is made with corn tortillas, seasoned beef, and cheddar jack cheese, and topped with tomatoes and green onions. Cook in a conventional oven or an air fryer, then add your own sour cream, pico, beans, and any other toppings from home to customize it to your preference.
Because the ingredients were similar, many people in the comments wondered if this tasted like Taco Bell’s version. “I wonder if these taste like the Mexican pizza at Taco Bell 🛎️,” @costco.so.obsessed captioned the picture.
“Oh my! I wonder too!!! I love Taco Bell’s Mexican pizza too!” one person commented. Someone lese wrote, “Ooh delish 🙌❤️.”
Still, others claimed it’s not as good. “They do not! 0/10 do not recommend!” one person wrote.
The only way to know for sure is to buy one and try it yourself (a hardship, we know!). Costco does have a good track record for dupes, though. They have bacon, egg, and gouda sandwiches just like Starbucks, a version of Uncrustable sandwiches for adults, and a cilantro lime rice that is similar to Chipotle.
It’s clear Costco knows what it’s doing, and our tastebuds (and wallets!) are happier for it.
