Late night food runs in college would not be the same without Taco Bell. The staple for Mexican fast food is usually the perfect spot to go when you’re too broke to go to Chipotle. If you’re tired of your usual routine, we’ve got a list of menu hacks made for our favorite cheap burrito.

This easy, cheesy snack is a soft tortilla stuffed with cheese, onions, and red sauce.

Those sassy little packets don’t just come in red, orange, or yellow.
How to order: Ask if they have verde packets when you order. Not every location has them, but it’s so worth it to ask.

If you’re a fan of guac, you’re in luck because you can add it to every burrito you order. Tell yourself it’s healthier than adding their nacho cheese.
How to order: Ask for guac in your bean or beef burrito.

The intense version of The Hulk, for those who don’t just like guac and big burritos – they love them.
How to order: Order a Beefy 5-Layer burrito with guac instead of nacho cheese. You can also make it ‘fresco’ and add sour cream and salsa if that’s your thing.
