After the slight disappointment with Amy's tortilla bowl, I was a bit hesitant to try this other Mexican-flavored bowl. But I was hungry and dammit, I am on this total Mexican kick after being denied Mexican food for so long. I slit that thang and gave it cancer.
I must say that with the tortilla bowl, I had just walked 40 minutes home with it in my bag and so I thought in the 4-5 minute span, I could just put it in for 4:15 or something and it would be fine. It was underdone in the center. For this one, I gave it its full 5 minutes, but it too was a little under-done in the center. I'm not sure if this is a problem with our microwave or just with the cooking time.
This bowl contains a chili-like substance, masa, corn, peppers, and cheese. It claims there are olives in there as well. It is, in a word ...
Fantastic.
Even though I had to throw it in the cancer box, it was still so good. A nice, balanced mix of ingredients and flavors that left me feeling very satisfied when I was done. And relatively healthy, too. I got the full sodium variety, but they also have a low sodium type.
My only problem with this ... is that ohhhhh it's like $7. They have it at most of the stores around me, and it ranges from $6.50-6.99, One thing I like about frozen food is that it's cheaper than eating out, but this is not. The only convenience is that I can eat it at home without anyone judging me. And it's probably lower in calories than Wahoo's or Taco Del Mar. But as a student who is already paying the Hawaii premium and the GF premium ... ouch.
Come on, Amy. I love you. Yes, I'm two-timing you with cinnamon, but we can all get along, can't we?
