If I’ve done the hours of prep, pre-cooking, par-cooking, and cleanup that’s required to have those ingredients ready to go, yes everything at Taco Bell takes less than 5 minutes to get ready. If I’m hosting or catering a party that effort is worth it. If I’m the only one eating it, it isn’t as all I’m tasting are the mistakes I may have made.
Edit: also having worked at every major fast food chain, I also know that Taco Bell is the least likely to have a food safety issue, such as E. Coli, or listeria.

For taco bell? Those ingredients are all basically canned. That’s why it tastes so bad. Nearly zero prep or effort.
At home I make things fresh, maybe not the tortillas. Maybe.
I do to, but taco bell is made at home by can of refried beans, shredded cheese, can of salsa, and some taco seasoning or chili powder and tortillas.
And it still will taste better.
