“It’s getting too expensive to eat at fast food places anymore, at least considering the quality. And while Taco Bell isn’t exactly haute cuisine, I do occasionally enjoy a taco supreme or a bean burrito. So here’s a copycat recipe of their red sauce that you can use to make bean burritos or pintos & cheese.” – April Ferre
