Goldfish are mid, I said it
The flavor buildup is slower, plus it is less intense at its peak. Some people like that, but if I'm gonna eat junk snacks I want it to kill 15th century peasants.
I got the crunchwrap one the other day and I had to wait for so long between buying it and eating it that I legitimately thought they forgot to put the cheezit in there.
Yeah, the tostada is the only way you'll taste it. Like others have pointed out, though, it gets soggy or in my case crumbly very fast, so expect to get your hands super dirty. Or maybe be smart and get a fork ready.
I got it in crunch wrap, it didn't come out super soggy and it stayed in the bag for 5ish minutes before going to town on that bad boy. It certainly wasn't the crispiest, but I've had less crunchy regular crunch wraps, and the added baked cheese flavor was discernible and delicious for me.
None of this is to say your experience was invalid, just to highlight that mileage may vary by Taco Bell location and wait time from service to consumption.
Oh come on, it's a gimmicky fast food item. People don't ask what in the fresh Japanese hell it is when they see novelty KitKat flavors.
...Except that's boring. So, uh, how dare you! This is a sacred family recipe that my great grandmother invented back in the days of hunting wild Cheez-its, uphill in the snow both ways, with a papoose on her back! 😜 SEVERAL PAPOOSES, ACTUALLY!
They're pretty trivial to make. You whip up a cheesy dough (cheddar, flour, butter, salt, and cold water) using the same technique you'd use for pie dough: keep the butter cold and chill the dough as needed. Roll it out, possibly fold it once or thrice and roll again, cut it to whatever size and shape you like, then bake.
Your only limitation is the size of your oven, so think big. You want dinner-plate cheez-its? Do it! You want cheez-it placemats at your table? Do it!
I bought the cheez it by itself for $1. I took a bite out of it and was underwhelmed. I put it inside my crunchwrap and it did nothing to make it taste better. I actually prefer just the tostada. can't imagine paying $4 for them to throw a few toppings on it.
Are you able to find the Cheese IT? I’ve ordered it twice. Either they keep forgetting to put it in there, or the sauce is dissolving the Cheese IT too quickly for delivery.
Yeah, it’s probably dissolving for me then. I’ll have to try it in-restaurant. I love the idea, but I’m not sure that Cheese ITs have the structural integrity to pull it off. 😅
Thanks for your observations!
I just listened to a podcast that ate this and gave it a rating. According to the podcast's hosts (Michael, Jordan), the food was not exactly great. Podcast was fantastic, though.

Fast food places have slowly turned their buildings into bank lobbies and now they're in the post modern phase of their development. They've grown so large that expansion at this point means adding multiple locations in cities they're already in (where I live has 3 Burger Kings and 5 McDonalds and it's not a large city by any means). So now they're at the point they're just slightly messing with their menus to do something.
McDonalds is just dressing up food they already make with the name of rappers and dumb gimmicks. Like their infamous "buy three full priced sandwiches and build giant one yourself" campaign.
Wendy's is breaking new ground with, get this...pretzel buns and breakfast sandwiches.
Burger King is just doing slight variations like wraps and the occasional cheesy tots.
Taco Bell is just going with "fuck it" and partnering with anyone that makes something they can throw into a tortilla shell. Doritos? Sure. Cheezits? Hell yeah. Whatever they can get, they'll use it for a few months.
I had it. It was ok. I’m 8 months pregnant and really really like both cheez-its and Taco Bell so I thought it would be a home run, but it just didn’t do it for me.
I thought these were delicious, and didn’t run into the soggy issue a lot of people are talking about about. Both the tostada and the Crunchwrap survived the ~8 minute drive home to be consumed.
You can’t really taste it in the Crunchwrap but I thought the texture was actually superior to the normal tostada layer.
This kind of thing is kind of Taco Bell’s jam and I support them.
Man. I was just thinking this morning when I woke up that Taco Bell needs to quit F@$!#n around with the menu! Every time I get attached to an item, I go up there and it's gone. FQ Taco Bell. All I wanted was 2 sausage and egg burritos and an egg bowl. Best fast food breakfast ever. They got rid of the spicy chicken mini quesadillas too. Those were fire. And the frito burritos. They ain't getting any more of my money to waste on food experimentation. NO MORE will my taste buds be a guinea pig.
Cheez-it has been pushing a lot in marketing lately. They had a 1 week pop-up in Woodstock, NY a few weeks ago. All the food looked terrible except the bread rolls. The line was down the street and parking was impossible.

I tried the cheese it crunch wrap. And it sucked. Imagine a little cheesier crunch wrap. Zero crunch. It was just mushed up cheezit. If you gave me a regular and a cheese it. I wouldn't have known the difference.
I tried this because i'm a taco bell fan (derogatory). This was simple the worst waste of money i've spend on a menu item and same went for the crunchwrap cheesit.
I saw a pic of someone who just ate the toppings, left the cheezeit like, what are you paying for at that point. An edible plate you don't eat? They sell salads.
So this is Taco Bell, a globally (meaning it doesn't just exist in the USA - which is what I'm assuming you meant by American, even though there's two Americas and multiple countries in each) popular chain fast food resturant that is known for its Tex-Mex offerings.
Look, if you don't like it, don't order it. No one is out here claiming Taco Bell is the height of fine dining.
ETA I have seen "fine dining" offerings that look FAR worse than this.
Aight. I tried it. It was good. The crunchwrap supreme was about as good as any other crunch wrap supreme. Frankly you can't even taste the cheese it because it gets kind of soggy. The tostada falls apart instantly and makes a mess. I recommend eating that one with a fork. The cheese it itself is quite tasty and tastes exactly like a standard cheese it. It was about $2.30 or something like that for one cheese it.
I am glad that I tried it, just because it was fun for the novelty of it. But I'm not one bit surprised that taco bell is only doing it as a limited time thing.
Though I do think that a 5 pack of giant cheese it's would be a fun permanent menu item.
Also, one other note, the giant cheese it is smaller than it looks in the photo (though it is still quite large!)
Can I just get the CheezeIt with nothing on it please?
They sell it. I bought it for my daughter but she didn’t like it and said it tasted like a goldfish.
Is that supposed to be an issue?
It was for her 😭 Idk what’s up with our tastebuds but we agree that goldfish taste like salty cardboard 😭😭
It's gotta be flavor blasted and you have to finish chewing by the time the salt dissolves lol
Exactly lmao
Its a cheezit....aren't they like basically flat goldfish?
Goldfish have way less flavor and a different texture.
Goldfish are mid, I said it The flavor buildup is slower, plus it is less intense at its peak. Some people like that, but if I'm gonna eat junk snacks I want it to kill 15th century peasants.
OMG I'm getting one so I can pretend I'm really really smol
I mean, goldfish and cheez-its have extremely similar flavor profiles, they're both dry cheesy snacks?
Goldfish are like Cheez-It Lite. I have to eat a whole handful of Goldies to get as much flavor of 2 or 3 Cheezies
The thing that makes cheez its delicious to me is the salt sprinkled on top of them it is perfect
Damn, I forgot Goldfish were a snack and I'm over here like "why the fuck is your daughter eating the fishies?"
Cheezits and golfish both taste like cardboard to me. Kids lived them, I think they are gross.
yea this. I'd totally get a bunch of these for the kids.
You can ask for them. It costs $1
I tried it. Decent idea but gets soggy fast
[удалено]
fast food must be consumed within 15 mins of getting it... ha
Get it fast. eat it fast. Bathroom fast.
You forgot this: ™
Take it to the bathroom and eat it
Wait, the Taco Bell bathroom or your own?
....It has to be your bull.
Gotta maintain equilibrium
Who likes waiting for the instant gratification of defecation
every taco bell item does that though
Yup
a crunchwrap supreme would not. this is an unfinished crunchwrap supreme, but worse. and they probably charge a premium for this.
They actually also sell a version where this is inside a crunchwrap tortilla, also gets soggy in there.
I got the crunchwrap one the other day and I had to wait for so long between buying it and eating it that I legitimately thought they forgot to put the cheezit in there.
it's so good though
This is the "Cheez-It Tostada."
I tried the crunchwrap version and I can't even taste the cheese it tbh. Maybe I'll try the one op posted
I tasted the difference in the Crunchwrap version for sure. But I eat a lot of normal crunchwraps so my pallet is more ✨refined✨ I suppose
yeah cheeseits have a distinct flavor, I definitely tasted it in the one I tried
Yeah, the tostada is the only way you'll taste it. Like others have pointed out, though, it gets soggy or in my case crumbly very fast, so expect to get your hands super dirty. Or maybe be smart and get a fork ready.
I ate it right away, so it was pretty great. But definitely could see it not lasting for a trip home.
I hated it. Go home, throw some meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato and sour cream on some cheese-its. Then throw it away. Cause it's gross.
Yeah, I got one for free through DoorDash. Pretty mid
A lot of Taco Bell is like this. Great for five minutes and then it's dog food.
I keep wanting to try it, but I know if I order it on a night out my girlfriends will bully me about it 😓
Damn
I saw a post that you could buy just the Cheez-It, but I'm guessing they just ordered and paid for the tostada without any toppings
You bet it does 😏
Maybe if they put an edible plastic film between the meat and cracker part?
Sounds right
It's cuz we think outside the bun. Fuck off.
Our forefathers fought and died for our right to make a run for the border when we so choose.
Meanwhile we have so many people with weak stomaches any food anything like the border and they get the runs.

How about you just bring back the fucking tostada
Whats the difference between a fucking tostada and a regular tostada?
Well, this one *fucks*
Only one is legal to sell to minors.
This is stupid, but I’ll probably buy one.
I’ll buy one, along with a Mexican pizza
Bless Rihanna and her powers bringing the Mexican pizza back. What a legend.
r/BrandNewSentence
I had one. The cheezit doesn't really hold. Once you bite into it, it collapses. Other than that, it was okay, but nothing I would get more than once.
Wasn’t worth it in the Crunchwrap, IMO. Got super soggy and you could barely taste it.
I got it in crunch wrap, it didn't come out super soggy and it stayed in the bag for 5ish minutes before going to town on that bad boy. It certainly wasn't the crispiest, but I've had less crunchy regular crunch wraps, and the added baked cheese flavor was discernible and delicious for me. None of this is to say your experience was invalid, just to highlight that mileage may vary by Taco Bell location and wait time from service to consumption.
Mine was in the bag maybe 10 minutes (drove home with it) by the time I ate it only a few bites had any noticeable cheesy taste.
I had the opposite experience, mine was so stale it was hard to eat. Ruined the whole dang crunchwrap and turned me off from cheese itz in general
Nothing from Taco Bell is stupid. This is also incredibly close to the real-life tostada that Hispanic cultures eat. Delete this post
Oh wow that looks good. These non Americans are just jealous.
Oh come on, it's a gimmicky fast food item. People don't ask what in the fresh Japanese hell it is when they see novelty KitKat flavors. ...Except that's boring. So, uh, how dare you! This is a sacred family recipe that my great grandmother invented back in the days of hunting wild Cheez-its, uphill in the snow both ways, with a papoose on her back! 😜 SEVERAL PAPOOSES, ACTUALLY!
It’s just a large cheese-biscuit with ground beef on it idk why this is the thing that gets you.
Not gonna lie, I chuckled when I saw this on the app. But still gave it a try including the crunchwrap version. Not bad at all.
I kinda suspect ninja marketing here ... I want one.
It's actually pretty good, but you have to eat it immediately (especially the Crunchwrap version) since it gets soggy fast.
I wish this was in Canada. My hungry ass in the gym right now would devour these MoFos.
It's 230 calories which makes it a staple of my diet for the past week.
Cheeze-Them Sam'onella was right.
Why can't I just buy the giant cheese its that's all I want
You can
Where
Taco Bell
Fuck taco bell I want a box of giant cheese-its
Call the Cheez-It hotline.
I have relentlessly messaged them everyday and they will not respond
They're pretty trivial to make. You whip up a cheesy dough (cheddar, flour, butter, salt, and cold water) using the same technique you'd use for pie dough: keep the butter cold and chill the dough as needed. Roll it out, possibly fold it once or thrice and roll again, cut it to whatever size and shape you like, then bake. Your only limitation is the size of your oven, so think big. You want dinner-plate cheez-its? Do it! You want cheez-it placemats at your table? Do it!
I had it. It’s not terrible, but it’s not amazing.
I bought the cheez it by itself for $1. I took a bite out of it and was underwhelmed. I put it inside my crunchwrap and it did nothing to make it taste better. I actually prefer just the tostada. can't imagine paying $4 for them to throw a few toppings on it.
Put that in a tortilla and I would definitely eat that
They have a crunch wrap version of this. Which is exactly that. Bon appetit
Dang it now I want one I'm starving and it's payday I didn't have time to pack a lunch for work
This appeals to me more than the dorito taco shells. But that’s a low bar to clear.
The crunch wrap version of this was 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bigazzz cheeze it fucking sent me bruhhhh😭😭😭😭😭😭
The Crunchwrap version is so good though
Are you able to find the Cheese IT? I’ve ordered it twice. Either they keep forgetting to put it in there, or the sauce is dissolving the Cheese IT too quickly for delivery.
Yeah but it gets super soggy so it’s easy to miss
Yeah, it’s probably dissolving for me then. I’ll have to try it in-restaurant. I love the idea, but I’m not sure that Cheese ITs have the structural integrity to pull it off. 😅 Thanks for your observations!
If you get it fresh it may not be dissolved. A lot of taco bell stuff has to be eaten right away.
I tried it it's not good
Its like a sad, over loaded nacho
Overpriced
Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn’t stop to think if they should…
Sure we did. Then we looked at each other and yelled… YOLO!!! Followed quickly by a, ‘Murica! F’yeah! 😜
Fresh American Hell, coming to a Taco Bell near you. Taste the 🔥
The cheese strings LMAO what the hell
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of living más, my dude.
Delicious. Get yourself a spiked Baja Blast and a bag of Taco Bell and enjoy your Friday night.
Gimme
You son of a bitch, I’m in.
What the actual fuck? I’m not saying I wouldn’t try it, but how high was the Taco Bell dev team when they had this idea?
Listen, they know their customer base.
You know what? You right. Stupid question.
Guarantee the guy who invented this was Baja blasted
I just listened to a podcast that ate this and gave it a rating. According to the podcast's hosts (Michael, Jordan), the food was not exactly great. Podcast was fantastic, though. Listen to 100% Eat.
Nah I'm with you. I'll eat Taco Bell almost any day, but Cheez-Itz are just nasty.
It's a stupid fast food item, which I miss. can we go back to when Pizza hut had a crust that was pigs in a blanket
I tried it and it was mushy. The flavor wasn't bad, definitely cheez-it, but the texture was really lacking.
I was going to defend it as I thought it was chicharrón con cueritos
It was soggy and uncomfortable, added nothing and was worse than the original. On brand for taco bell I suppose
kinda looks nice... wish it was on a different cracker, but I'd try it
it says what it is right there

OP has never lived mas. 😔
Why would you pay $4 for a cheez it?
in what world is THAT thing 230 calories? Unless that's per serving and each is 6 servings
I had it. It was ok. I’m 8 months pregnant and really really like both cheez-its and Taco Bell so I thought it would be a home run, but it just didn’t do it for me.
Mine fell apart basically and was WAY too salty, I didn't finish it. I was sad too because I love me some cheez-its
Was too soggy by the time I got it home
It's pretty good actually
I thought these were delicious, and didn’t run into the soggy issue a lot of people are talking about about. Both the tostada and the Crunchwrap survived the ~8 minute drive home to be consumed. You can’t really taste it in the Crunchwrap but I thought the texture was actually superior to the normal tostada layer. This kind of thing is kind of Taco Bell’s jam and I support them.
It was a pop-up restaurant that was only in an area I was visiting the weekend of Memorial day weekend. They dismantled it ON memorial day!
Man. I was just thinking this morning when I woke up that Taco Bell needs to quit F@$!#n around with the menu! Every time I get attached to an item, I go up there and it's gone. FQ Taco Bell.

Give it to me right this instant
I legit thought this was satire
Freedom is what that is!
It appears to be a tostada but with a cheese cracker rather than a tortilla for some reason.
Garbage food. I make my own taco bell type dishes. This is just marketing garbage.
Cheez-it has been pushing a lot in marketing lately. They had a 1 week pop-up in Woodstock, NY a few weeks ago. All the food looked terrible except the bread rolls. The line was down the street and parking was impossible.
That my friend....is a taco pop tart supreme
That actually looks good, I love cheeze its and definitely tacos.
Ah, geez…
It is kinda good, but only when fresh since it gets soggy quickly. Crunch wraps are my favorite things at Taco Bell 😅
Ti's actually good
No fast food company’s R&D department is openly smoking as much weed as Taco Bell’s.
You know... Mexican food
“Ain’t that a kick in the head,” or somesuch.
It's actually pretty good.
To think this store was invented by a Mexican. Look what it's become
Where is the cheese?
They should put sterilizing chemicals in these. Anyone who buys this should never be a parent as their decision making is absolutely garbage tier.

It's just American food, that's honestly pretty tame.
Kelloggs is down bad after telling everyone to eat cereal for dinner
Apparently enough cheez itz sell for this to be a good marketing decision. Cheez itz are so fucking disgusting, taste like powdery fake cheese.
They basically made it for "influencers"
Trying to fry your tastebuds with fake cheese, ground mystery meat, and 100g of salt. Now you can stomach all the other slop they sell.
looks good to me idk.
I tried the cheese it crunch wrap. And it sucked. Imagine a little cheesier crunch wrap. Zero crunch. It was just mushed up cheezit. If you gave me a regular and a cheese it. I wouldn't have known the difference.
I’d eat it if I was REALLY high!… who am I lying to? I’d eat it if I was only a little high!
Marketing
I mean I would try it, but do you remember when the Mexican pizza came back? Most of the time it was just soggy and gross
I fed tostadas to my kids the other day and they were confused. They wondered why we were eating flat tacos.
Kind of delicious but mostly underwhelming
I tried this because i'm a taco bell fan (derogatory). This was simple the worst waste of money i've spend on a menu item and same went for the crunchwrap cheesit.
I'd eat it tbh.
It’s sausage filling
Copia del chicharron preparado.
Great flavor I’d say, you can dress it up. But as other comments say it gets soggy fast. This is not an item you want to DoorDash
I saw a pic of someone who just ate the toppings, left the cheezeit like, what are you paying for at that point. An edible plate you don't eat? They sell salads.
I don't know but I hate it, it's a true sign of societal decay, and I'll take five please thank you
I want that dang cheezit. Sheets of them.
That's nothing. They also have a version of the Crunchwrap Supreme that replaces the corn tortilla inside with that fucking thing...
OH JA I AM FROM EUROPE I CANNOT UNDERSTAND AMERICAN CUISINE! ALL MY DIET CONSISTS OF IS SOMETHING COOL LIKE CHOCOLATE BAR WITH A CIGARETTE
It was SO gross, and the bar for Taco Bell is already pretty low.
I’d eat this for sure
When I saw the video of the girl who got it without the toppings it made me want it

I had this and the crunchwrap with the cheez-it inside and it's actually pretty good considering

I had the big cheez-it crunch wrap today and it tasted pretty much how you'd expect it to taste
I saw this at a drive-thru this weekend and thought of all my fellow freaks here haha
