IThe Double Decker Taco is a hybrid taco once offered at most Taco Bell locations, consisting of a soft flour tortilla wrapped around a traditional crunchy taco with a layer of refried beans serving as a mortar between the two tortillas. After the advent of the Why Pay More! Value Menu, the double deck taco is no longer a sub-$1 item. Although the Why Pay More! Value Menu offers the taco as part of their $2 Meal Deals. In the United Kingdom there is an offer called the £4.99 Fill Up Box where it has a Double Decker Taco but Nacho Cheese Sauce replaces the Re-Fried Beans.
