7 Layer Burrito
One of my favourite youtubers has a running joke about Taco Bell getting rid of the 7 layer burrito. I bought a panini press on a whim. The rest just all made sense!
This is very much a “good enough” recipe. Everything is ready made except the rice, and if you have the energy, The Fire Sauce
