Grill Cheese Burrito

Due to TikToker JellyBeanSweets, Taco Bell’s grilled cheese burrito has become a viral sensation. The dish features a blend of seasoned beef, rice, three cheese blend, crunchy red tortilla strips, chipotle sauce, sour cream, and nacho cheese, all warmed in a flour tortilla and a layer of grilled cheese. The layer of cheese on the outside was not only the perfect way to elevate the flavors of the burrito, but it gave the perfect crunch with each bite. However, the burrito was overly greasy and left me feeling rather heavy. Of course, I ended my meal with a Baja Blast, the perfect way to wash down all the food. Taco Bell’s grilled cheese burrito is the perfect comfort food or anyone looking to try something new.  

California Roll Cucumber Salad 

Logan (@logagm), who specializes in sharing recipes of his favorite dishes from cold noodles to making homemade kimchi, recently took over everyone’s feed with his cucumber salad recipes. Following his recipe, I first sliced up three cucumbers into thin, crispy rounds into a jar. Then, I added in a splash of soy sauce, a spoonful of whipped cream cheese, a dash of Kewpie mayo, half of an avocado, two sticks of shredded imitation crab, a sprinkle of sesame seeds and of course a touch of MSG. After a good shake, the dish was finally ready to eat. It tasted identical to a real California roll, as you could taste the ingredients used in the recipe were very similar to what’s commonly used in the roll. The crunchiness of the cucumbers paired perfectly with the creaminess of the avocado and blend of sauces. The dish perfectly captured the essence of a California Roll, a filling yet flavorful dish that I would definitely recommend to others. 

Hwachae 

Hwachae, a Korean fruit dessert, was first introduced by TikToker AmyFlamy. Known to be the perfect remedy for dehydration, the dish contains a variety of chopped up fruits such as watermelon, strawberries and an assortment of chewy fruit jellies, all topped off with a blend of sprite and strawberry milk. With each bite, there was a combination of fresh fruit flavors and delicate texture of the jellies. The combination of the two  was the perfect blend of creamy richness and carbonation. Hwachae is the perfect dessert if you’re looking to cool off from the heat that quenches your thirst. I would definitely recommend the dessert for those seeking a unique yet delicious dessert to try on a hot day.
