If you find yourself a little bored with run of the mill taco shells, there are tons of different ways to spice up this traditional Mexican food, starting from the outside. One of the best things about a taco is that there are endless possibilities for what it can be filled with, but changing its container can totally change the whole tone of the dish.
Some of these crazy tacos trade out traditional wheat or corn-based shells for things like chocolate and waffles, which turns what used to be thought of as an entrée into a dessert or a breakfast food.
Doritos and Taco Bell has even teamed up to offer taco shells made from the triangular orange chips, which is truly a junk food lover’s dream.
