Slow down and enjoy your fast food

Mmm. What a deliciously decadent looking pasta dish. It looks as if the pasta was rolled and stuffed by hand, the sauce lovingly constructed and simmered for hours before finally being ready.

Wrong.

It’s Tacobellini. Or, fancy Burrito Supreme.

Yes, in these trying economic times, it is still possible to add a touch of class to your meals. Just visit Fancy Fast Food where they instruct you how to transform those artery-clogging — yet cheap! — fast food meals into a work of (still artery-clogging) art.

The instructions for this lovely dish are as follows:

Ingredients:

• 2 Taco Bell Burrito Supremes (beef)
• 1 beef soft taco
• 1 large Sierra Mist
• packets of mild, hot or Fire sauce (to your liking)
• parsley (for garnish)

Think outside the tortilla. Carefully unwrap the Burrito Supremes and soft taco, and extract their stuffings in a bowl. Carefully rinse off each of the tortillas, and then briefly steam them in a steamer to soften and moisten them. Then lay each tortilla on a cutting board and cut circles in it using a small circular cookie cutter, or simply an empty tin can measuring around 2 1/2” in diameter. Take the filling and put a small amount in each small tortilla circle, then fold it in half and pinch it into a tortellini shape. The moisture should keep it sticky enough to stay put. Pile the tortellinis on a plate. Next, cut open and pour the contents of the sauce packets in a measuring cup, then generously drizzle the sauce over the tortellini. Garnish with parsley and serve with Sierra Mist in a wine glass.
