I know that seems like an overly harsh way of describing it, but truly, it tastes like something that’s going bad like something you’re not supposed to eat. I like the heat level a lot, it’s surprising and probably the hottest sauce I’ve ever tasted from Taco Bell, but kind of curdles when mixed with the flavors and aroma of flour tortilla. Instead it hits you with a sharp tang that ignites your taste buds, leaving you with a pronounced and lingering burn. It doesn’t have that cool and refreshing quality that buttermilk ranch has.
