This is yesterday’s dinner today. Except you know how taco bell offers a grilled burrito option?

I didn’t include a cost per person yesterday. My bad. $2.60.

That’s less than most of the Taco Bell burritos. Except that this is larger than any burrito that Taco Bell has ever offered. But have you tried their new $3 grilled steak burritos? They are the best thing since the $1 Spicy Tostada (RIP). I don’t know how they are offering them at that price. I expect one of them to do the “was $89¢ but is now $4 beefy cheese burrito” thing on one of them.

    I do not have the money to deep fry something with that much thermal mass. Either in hardware or cooking oil. I do love a good chimichanga but on the rare occasion I make them they are considerably smaller.

      I hope my comment wasn’t taken as an insult. The chimichanga, especially when smothered in a delicious sauce, is the highest elevation of the burrito, and that’s a hill I’d die on. A grilled burrito sounds like a chimichanga and a quesadilla’s love child.

      …on the rare occasion I make them they are considerably smaller.

      Ah…changuitas. The Tex-Mex eggroll. Dip it in some Salsa Doña and you are in cheesy heaven.

        No insult taken. I’d love to do them. Just can’t.

        Once we have a few dollars it’s on the schedule to make a bulk load of black beans, corn and Colby Jack “Southwest egg rolls” and freeze them for later and air fry them. My wife loves them.
