These tacos are actually quite brilliant. They make it possible for a burger joint to easily sell this Mesican item. The frozen shells are put in the fry oil and the shell is crisped and the filling is cooked at the same time.. These units cook so fast that they can be made to order. All that's needed is to add some lettuce and chopped tomato - items that are already on hand.

Unfortunately, the filling has to be in a form that doesn't float away into the fry oil so it's kind of a weird pasty substance. I'm hoping that the filling can be changed to some kind of artificial meat material because it's likely that would be an improvement. The main difference is that the BK taco shell seems to have some wheat flour in it while the JitB, does not. Other than that, it's a toss-up between which fry oil you like better.
