That's where the acclaimed food personality directly supported meal times inside the home rather than in restaurants.

Each order includes a choice of protein; choice of white or brown rice; choice of black beans or pinto beans; one premium side, either guacamole or Queso Blanco; cheese; romaine lettuce; eight flour tortillas; two large orders of chips; a large portion of sour cream; and choice of three salsas. Prices vary by location.
