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.
Food 101: How to Make a Burrito
I have a confession to make. I once was a Taco Bell addict. I spent a large bulk of my college years running in and out of the venerable fast food institution dropping down $5 bucks and walking away with enough food to feed a family. I was that guy who not only craved crunchwraps at 2:00am, but also who went out and drove there to get one. Even though I didn’t eat any other fast food, I tried to justify it through some sort of backhanded logic about not having access to Latino cuisine. It was not my proudest status. And even though I kicked the habit a couple years ago when I dropped red meat and processed meats, I still long for delicious burritos and tacos and fajitas and whatever Tex-Mex food portmanteau you can think of. So that’s why I offer this very special Food 101, to all the other poor SOBs out there who struggle with cravings for cheap tacos that are objectively terrible for you.
We’ll work through it together.
