Welcome back!
Today, I (Li'l Chefpo) got a message from Chefpo Jr. reminding me about the great spicy, crunchy burrito that we had a while back. As I recall, it was devised from a recipe from Tasty, but from that, we made a few adjustments. But don't let me tell you, here's the message:
"Hey Li'l Chefpo! Do you remember that spicy (in all ways) burrito that I made? Pretty good, right? Well, I heard you were making this blog so I tried my hand at a recipe! It's like that Tasty one, but they used steak instead of the ground meat that I had, they used Cheetos instead of these rolled tortilla chips, which are pretty much Takis, and I made my own queso that maybe wasn't the best, but it was still good!

It's honestly huge and has so much stuff in it. You really get a taste of everything in the burrito, and the spicy crunch is such a great addition (plus it's also lime flavored). Those chips are also great on their own!
