In late September , Taco Bellcalled on all fans to help decidewhich discontinued dish to contribute backto its fare . Notevery itemwas on the table . The battle was specifically between two of the chain ’s most request retired person : the Double Decker Taco and the Enchirito . Until October 6 , masses could cast their vote ( once a mean solar day ) for their favourite offering through theTaco Bellapp .
Now , asFood & Winereports , Taco Bell hasannouncedthe winner — the Enchirito . It amassed 62 percent of some 760,000 total votes , beating out the Double Decker by a sizable 24 percent margin .
If longevity ruled anyone ’s decision , the Enchirito would ’ve been the clear choice . The enchilada - burrito hybrid — a gentle flour tortilla containing boeuf , cheese , and onions , not to mention topped with red sauce and tear up cheese — appeared on Taco Bell ’s menu in 1970 . The Double Decker Taco was n’t add until 1995 .
If recency prejudice was a bigger factor , however , the Double Decker may have taken the cake . It was discontinued in 2019 , while the Enchirito has been gone since 2013 . The Double Decker was idealistic for people who lovehard tacosbut hate how easily everything spill out at first bite . The outside of the hard carapace — the interior harboring a hearty helping of beef , cheese , and scratch — was slathered in bean and encased in a gentle tortilla , which aid keep the fastening contained .
Alas , Double Decker rooter will have to wait for the next crowdsourcing campaign ( if there is one ) to attempt to sling their choice fiat back onto the card . They might try an Enchirito to pass the time . Locations across the commonwealth will offer it between November 17 and November 30 . Mexican Pizza , on the other hand , isn’t leaving anytime soon .
