We Can do it Better: Taco Bell Chicken Flatbread Sandwich
Erik has already admitted to being a recovering Taco Bell addict. The thing that makes this journey the hardest, and most temps relapse are their cheap chicken flatbreads. The one he specifically misses the most is the chipotle chicken flatbread. The chipotle chicken flatbread sandwiches were originally released in the summer of 2011 for a limited time, and have occasionally been re-released for limited runs since then. The sandwiches were made on square flatbreads with marinated grilled chicken, cheddar, pepper jack and mozzarella cheeses, and a chipotle sauce. A simple, but delicious concoction.
This is a picture of the Taco Bell version, if you couldn’t tell.
Luckily for Erik, and you dear reader, it’s absurdly easy to make your own Taco Bell chicken flatbread sandwiches at home.
Pizza Lab #14: Gluten-Free Jerk Chicken Pizza
Pizza Lab is a fun theoretical column in which Meg A. and Erik S. explore their innermost passion for baking and eating pizzas. It exists purely for the sake of experimenting in the kitchen. It may not necessarily be cost-effective everytime, so don’t try this at home kids.
Okay everyone I’m gonna go out on a limb and here and (sarcastically) make a bold statement here… I think the two of us maaay enjoy pizza. Just maaaybe we like pizza a lot. You could pooossibly make the claim we are pizza lovers. Yooou get the idea. Whyyy am I talking like this? Iiiiii don’t know.
Yeah so joking aside, pizza is a God-Tier food. You love it, they love it, we’re obsessed with it. But just imagine, if you will, for a moment that you couldn’t eat pizza. You wanted to, but just weren’t allowed. Misery! But yes there are some people who don’t eat pizza or whom cannot eat pizza for medical reasons. Such a meaningless existence seems empty and futile, and yes you’re right a diet without pizza is like breathing without oxygen. What’s the point? But as you know, there are many people with Celiac disease, possessing an allergic reaction to wheat products. Allergies are annoying, but could they be enough to keep you from your favorite foods? Well considering the reactions for Celiac sufferers range anywhere from stomach cramps to skin rashes to hysterical diarrhea, yeah, they probably are enough to keep you from eating pizza. Fortunately in recent years, gluten-free awareness has risen and more and more food providers cater to those with Celiac.
Erik S. So Pizza Lab is officially one year old now! How exciting!
Meg A. Yup! I feel so proud. I imagine this is what it’s like when your child turns a year old. Except Pizza Lab is way better than children.
Erik S. Yeah, pizzas are inexpensive and you can eat them when you’re done with them. Children feature neither of those perks.
Meg A. Exactly. Pizzas also don’t cry. Which is good, because it’d be incredibly uncomfortable to eat something that’s crying.
Erik S. Uncomfortable, or hysterical?
Meg A. Nonetheless, our pizza this time was a bit different than usual, and for good reason.
