If You Can Read, You Can Cook

I am kicking myself right now. I made this last week and took some awesome photos of it. And then I deleted them without saving them to my computer. So instead, here’s an image of the original from Taco bell, the XXL Grilled Stuft Burrito:

I set out to make my own because 1)Taco Bell uses some weird mystery meat, 2)I don’t like driving across town for fast food, and 3)because I believe that I should be able to make any dish that I enjoy eating.

According to the Taco Bell website, the grilled stuffed burrito contains:

The XXL Grilled Stuft Burrito is our biggest burrito yet, STUFT full of our seasoned beef, a three cheese blend, flavorful seasoned rice, hearty beans, reduced-fat sour cream, chunky guacamole, avocado ranch and fiesta salsa, wrapped up in a warm flour tortilla.

I can do that. These did come out pretty awesome. They looked just like what you buy from Taco Bell and tasted pretty close. In my mind, they tasted better.
