Return of the Cheesy Gordita Crunch

[Stroker Ace]

Yeah! I used to love these when I worked at Taco Bell back in college. Unfortunately it's a seasonal promotion like the McRib and it only seems to pop its head up every few years.

Get 'em while they're crunchy!

They're also better if you order them with "steak" instead of the ground beef they come with.

Oh, and get two.

Is that shredded cheddar cheese between the flour and corn shells? Imagine nacho cheese and beans there instead. I'd buy that.

[Stroker Ace]

Lay out a thick flour tortilla ('gordita' shell). Toss a handful of mixed shredded cheese (cheddar and whatever the white stuff is). Stick it in the steamer for 15 seconds.

Take a hard taco shell, lay in a serving of beef, a squirt of magic orange sauce, a portion of lettuce, and a sprinkling of cheddar.

Remove tortilla from steamer, wrap it around the taco, package, and serve.

These are damn good I had them yesterday.

God damn I'm hungry right now.

So I just tried my first cheesy gordita crunch, spurred on by this thread. It was okay, but the crunchwrap supreme is much better.
