FAST FOOD » Once you get past the quotidian incongruity of a black taco shell, eaters are in for a treat, rather than a trick, when ordering this new menu item at Taco Bell. The Black Jack Taco is filled with seasoned beef, pepper jack sauce, lettuce and blend of three shredded cheeses: cheddar, pepper jack and mozzarella. The shell tastes the same as a yellow corn shell, but this taco is gooey and indulgently decadent thanks to its overabundance of cheese, amplified by the zesty, hot pepper jack sauce. The taco is 210 calories and has 17 grams of fat.
