What is the name of the Taco Bell menu item featuring a hard shell inside a soft tortilla?

The Taco Bell menu item featuring a hard shell inside a soft tortilla is the Double Decker Taco.

The item combines a standard crunchy taco shell with a flour tortilla wrapped around it. Refried beans are spread between the shell and tortilla, helping the two layers adhere while adding a creamy contrast to the seasoned beef, lettuce, cheese, and tomato traditionally inside the taco.

Taco Bell introduced the Double Decker Taco as a limited-time promotion in 1995, later making it a regular menu item in June 2006. It was removed from the U.S. menu in 2019, but returned for limited-time promotions in 2023 and 2024 after persistent fan requests.

A common mix-up is confusing it with a Chalupa or Gordita. Those items use a single thick or fried shell, while the Double Decker specifically has two distinct layers: a hard taco shell and a soft flour tortilla.
