Live más with these superfan-approved ordering tricks.

If you’re a Taco Bell fan, you might love the fast food restaurant’s menu just as it is. After all, the chain is constantly updating its edible roster with new items we can’t help but try (hello Crispnada, Tajín collab, and Baja Blast gelato!). And of course there are the longtime favorites that get us through life on the daily, plus the discontinued items that the chain has graciously revived (we’re not worthy!). If you prefer a homemade take on these drive-thru delicacies, you can always whip up one of our favorite Taco Bell copycat recipes.

But if you like to mix things up or want to recreate an old favorite order that’s no longer available, there are some pretty delicious secret menu hacks you should know about, and of course, Reddit is brimming with them. We scoured the site and rounded up the most intriguing and creative suggestions for your next pilgrimage to the land of Live Más.

The 6 Best Taco Bell Secret Menu Items

Beefy Melt Burrito With Potatoes

Reddit user Classic-Sherbet-375 shared several ordering hacks, like a “beefy melt burrito” with potatoes. “It’s like the cheesy potato burrito they used to have,” the user wrote. To order it, ask for extra beef and no rice or fiesta strips. Or keep all the ingredients in the mix. “I like the rice and red strips, so I just leave them,” Classic-Sherbet-375 said. Another upgrade idea? Get your burrito grilled with extra beef and potatoes.

Mexican Pizza With Nacho Cheese and Sour Cream

Alter Taco Bell’s Mexican pizza by swapping the traditional Mexican pizza sauce for nacho cheese and adding sour cream for a bold, rich, and creamy pie, suggests Reddit user and former Taco Bell employee Classic-Sherbet-375. Craving something homemade?

Crunchwrap Supreme With Potatoes and Rice

Infuse extra flavor and texture to Taco Bell’s classic Crunchwrap Supreme by adding potatoes and rice to your order, another tip from Reddit user jdcmurphy22. To make your own at-home creation, try a Taco Bell copycat Crunchwrap Supreme or copycat Crunchwrap Casserole, both of which are easy to prepare and incredibly satisfying.

Grilled Cheesy Bean and Rice Burrito

One hot Taco Bell tip is that you can get any burrito grilled, suggests Reddit user MaidenFan666969. “The biggest mind-altering Taco Bell hack is one of the simplest: you can get any burrito grilled for no extra charge, [and] it automatically makes every burrito a full letter grade better on the deliciousness scale,” the user wrote. Their specific secret menu hack is getting the Cheesy Bean and Rice Burrito grilled, calling it “pure gustatory greatness for under two dollars.” For an even bigger flavor boost, try the “Cheesy Bean [and] Rice Burrito, add beef, red sauce, and fries, suggests Reddit user South_Cheesecake7602.

Spicy Potato Soft Taco With Beef

The addition of beef to any of Taco Bell’s menu items cranks the flavor and heartiness up notch, plain and simple. “Add beef to [the] spicy potato soft taco,” suggests Reddit user jdcmurphy22. The clearly carnivorous user also recommended adding steak to the fast food joint’s breakfast burritos, recommending a “cheesy toasted breakfast burrito potato, add steak,” as a tasty, filling upgrade. Another Reddit user, JamminJME, agreed, saying, “The Spicy Potato [Soft] Taco, add beef, is one of my favorite upgrades. It makes the taco fat.”

Chicken Cheese Burritos With Avocado Ranch

If you long for the days when Taco Bell included rice in its chicken and cheese burritos, do not fret, because there’s a simple solution. “The chicken burritos they used to have were just rice, chicken, cheese, and avocado ranch, so you could remove all the other items [if you want to recreate the old version of the burrito],” says Reddit user Classic-Sherbet-375. Ask for a Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burrito, add rice, and remove the chipotle sauce and tomatoes.
