I saw a video where the ground beef they serve is freeze dried and it comes frozen in a box like gravel..they take some out and put it in an insert and add water then heat it in the steam table to reconstitute it...
We have a franchise up here called Bar Burrito that does the same thing
There are all kinds of rumors about Taco Bell's beef. All I know is that Taco Bell claims their ground beef is 88% beef. I don't know what the other 12% is.
