Macaroni Cheese Burrito

Hungry after spending the whole morning implementing a new template for Junk Food Blog, I wandered over to the kitchen to see what looked good in the refrigerator.

I found a tupperware container full of my wife's homemade macaroni cheese.

But I also happened to see the bag of flour tortillas.

And that's when my left-brain kicked in, and thought, "Oh yeah, macaroni cheese burritos".

Add to that a sprinkling of my favorite hot sauce, and I had myself some lunch...








Nuke the finished product for about 30 seconds, or until the tortilla is soft and warm, and indulge!

Huevos Rancheros Breakfast Burrito - Carl's Jr.

Carl's Jr. today announced their newest burrito, the Huevos Rancheros Breakfast Burrito. It's available beginning today.

The Huevos Rancheros Breakfast Burrito contains refried beans, scrambled eggs, shredded jack and cheddar cheeses, and Carl's own Ranchero sauce, topped with corn tortilla strips.

The company states that they wanted to take the traditional Mexican breakfast of Huevos Rancheros and put it into a portable form.

Being that Carl's Jr. is a prominent fast-food restaurant in south western states, where Mexican immigrants have high concentration, it makes sense for the company to better position itself for America's future voters.

The Huevos Rancheros Breakfast Burrito sells for $2.39, or $3.89 as part of a breakfast combo meal.

The Del Taco chain of fast food restaurants issued an announcement today promising that when you order their Spicy Chicken Burrito they'll put more chicken into it.

Better yet, the $1.99 price will remain as is.

The doubling of chicken meat in Del Taco's products have been met with approval of its client base, following the success of its relaunched Chicken Soft Taco.

To market their chicked-up Spicy Chicken Burrito, Del Taco is running a new ad depicting a mall-Santa feeding his hunger with a Spicy Chicken Burrito as he flirts with his attractive helper.
