Dolly Parton, the country music legend with a heart as big as her career, might be known for her love of classic country tunes and philanthropy, but did you know she also has a favorite fast food joint? That’s right, the iconic singer and songwriter has a soft spot for Taco Bell—and her order will surprise you!

According to an interview with Business Insider, Parton has a tried-and-true Taco Bell trio that she swears by. It’s simple, satisfying, and full of flavor. Her go-to fast food order includes a Mexican Pizza, a Soft Taco Supreme, and a side of Black Beans and Rice. While these might seem like everyday menu staples, Dolly’s love for them gives us a peek into the tastes of one of Nashville’s most beloved figures.

 

A Mexican Pizza Fan for Life

10 Reasons Why We'll Always Love Dolly Parton

Out of all the options at Taco Bell, Dolly’s number one favorite is the Mexican Pizza. So much so, that she even took to narrating a 12-minute musical extravaganza called Mexican Pizza: The Musical in 2022, celebrating the return of this fan-favorite item to the Taco Bell menu. The Mexican Pizza had been controversially removed from the menu in 2020, during the peak of the pandemic, leaving fans in a desperate DIY frenzy to recreate it at home. Thanks to the fan campaign—led in part by music stars like Doja Cat—Taco Bell brought it back in all its cheesy glory, much to Dolly’s delight.

 

For those who’ve never tried it, the Mexican Pizza features two crunchy tortilla shells filled with seasoned ground beef and refried beans, topped with a savory Mexican pizza sauce, a shredded three-cheese blend, and fresh diced tomatoes. While many fans miss the original green onions and black olives that once adorned the pizza, it remains a crowd favorite, and clearly, it’s Dolly’s too!

The Soft Taco Supreme: A Must-Have in Dolly’s Order

 

Next on Dolly’s Taco Bell lineup is the Soft Taco Supreme, which takes the regular taco to the next level. This treat features seasoned ground beef, lettuce, and shredded cheese, all topped with a dollop of sour cream and diced tomatoes, wrapped in a warm flour tortilla. According to Taco Bell’s fans, once you go “supreme,” there’s no going back to the regular taco. It’s the perfect blend of creamy, savory, and satisfying—just the way Dolly likes it.

 

The Side that Powers Dolly’s Day: Black Beans and Rice

 

While the Mexican Pizza and Soft Taco Supreme take center stage, Dolly rounds out her meal with a side of Black Beans and Rice. This powerhouse combo is a go-to for many Taco Bell fans who are vegetarian or vegan, as it’s packed with protein and carbs. What’s more, Taco Bell’s black beans and seasoned rice are both American Vegetarian Association (AVA) certified vegan. For Dolly, it’s the perfect balance of flavors, providing the energy she needs to keep her day moving—and who wouldn’t want that after a long day in the studio or on stage?

 

The Mild Sauce: Dolly’s Secret to the Perfect Taco Bell Experience

 

No Taco Bell order would be complete without some sauce, and Dolly’s preference is clear. While Taco Bell offers a variety of hot sauces, from spicy to extra fiery, Dolly sticks with the mild sauce to maintain that delicate balance of flavors. As she explains, “Don’t mess with the flavor too much!” Mild sauce is her choice, and it’s the finishing touch on her perfect Taco Bell meal.

 

Eating Like Dolly: The Ultimate Fast Food Fix

 

So, if you’re ever craving Taco Bell and want to eat like a country legend, look no further than Dolly Parton’s order. Start with a Mexican Pizza, add a Soft Taco Supreme, and don’t forget to grab a side of Black Beans and Rice. For the perfect finishing touch, drizzle on some mild sauce, and you’ve got yourself a meal that’s both filling and comforting—just like Dolly herself.
