I\u2019ve been too afraid to order fiery food for most of my life, and only recently realized that I actually like the burn of mild-to-moderately spiced food. I\u2019m still never going to order a Super Triple Spicy Ghost Pepper Burger or whatever, but I like me some Wendy\u2019s Spicy Nuggets.<\/p>\n<p>What makes this item interesting \u2014 yet another burrito from Taco Bell, oh joy \u2014 is that it seems like the spiciness has been calibrated for people like me. You\u2019ve got the salsa verde, which Taco Bell calls \u201cgreen sauce,\u201d which is spicy, but the presence of rice, grilled chicken, reduced fat sour cream, and a three-cheese blend are all fighting valiantly to cancel out that spice. What I ended up with was a burrito that created a pleasant, light-burning sensation on the tip of my tongue and the roof of my mouth, but did not spread that heat to the back of my mouth.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/tbsalsaverdegrillchibur2.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-54387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/tbsalsaverdegrillchibur2.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/tbsalsaverdegrillchibur2.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/tbsalsaverdegrillchibur2.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/tbsalsaverdegrillchibur2.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Other than the perfect spice level (for me, anyway), there isn\u2019t that much to talk about. The other foods that complement the green sauce, save the cheese blend, are all relatively bland, which leads to a bland dining experience. The chicken tastes fine, but lightly marinated chicken is never going to rock your socks off with flavor. The cheese blend could add some flavor contrast, but I tasted very little cheese in my burrito. I\u2019m assuming that means there wasn\u2019t much in my burrito to begin with because cheese has a flavor that would have stood out if it was there in any reasonable quantity. More green sauce would have dialed up the flavor, but then the burrito would lose its \u201cperfect for spice-wimps\u201d level of heat.<\/p>\n<p>Since I have so little to say about the flavor, I spent a little time online seeing what other reactions this burrito has been inspiring. Surprisingly, some eaters noted that it had too much cheese and not nearly enough salsa verde, which does not match my experience at all. Apparently, there may be some quality control issues going on here, which will not shock anybody.<\/p>\n<p>The last thing I want to mention is the fact that this burrito is only two dollars on Taco Bell\u2019s \u201cCravings\u201d menu. Criticisms aside, this is a pretty hefty burrito for only two dollars; if you\u2019re a somewhat light eater, this could serve as a really cheap lunch. Taco Bell is known for providing cheap eats, and while this burrito is far from perfect, it\u2019s a pretty good deal for what it is.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $2.00<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 7 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> 390 calories, 12 grams of fat, 6 grams of saturated fat, 1110 milligrams of sodium, 50 grams of carbohydrates, 4 grams of sugar, and 18 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spicy food is pretty new to me.
