Hey guys welcome to another lunter review today I’m going to try these Old El Paso mini crispy burritos one is the beef and cheese the other one is the southwest chicken and cheese uh so the beef and cheese has seasoned beef pasteurized processed cheddar cheese sauce onion and red bell pepper and a

Crispy tortilla and then the southwest chicken and cheese if you can see that it’s got a little glare on it there we go it has white meat chicken pasteurized processed montere jack cheese corn peppers and black beans and a crispy tortilla so we bought both of these at Meer they were

$949 per box there are two it says oh the serving sizes per two burritos but there’s eight burritos in the box and they are both 14 oz 396 G each for each box uh that’s for the entire box both of them say they’re mild spice so that’s

Good uh and they cook the same as well so let me go over the calories first and then we’ll talk about how to cook them so the beef and cheese is 290 calories and there’s the other info for you and then the old Al I mean the uh

Southwest chicken is 270 calories and there’s your other information and Tammy always has a picture of all stuff uh at the end as well so you cook these the same so I’m just going to show you this one so you can do these in the oven if

You’d like you can do them in the air fryer if you like and of course we’re not going to do either one of those we are going to do let me scoot you up a bit get you in the light uh we are going to do the microwave so the microwave um

It says place two burritos on a microwave safe plate so I can do one of these one of the other one seam Side Up microwave on high for5 to 145 I’ll just do 130 let it stand for 2 minutes to complete to cooking be careful things

Are going to be hot so let’s see what they look like I do have a paper plate over here no pull tab but that’s okay ah okay they’re in a tray but then they’re in a bag so that’s pretty much exactly what I thought they would look

Like so seam side up I’m going to put that on a plate and then I’m going to get out the other one all right so for this one I’m assuming there’s the same thing yeah it’s just the same same thing it’s one bag with all of them in there

Together so you can’t uh there’s not a resalable bag or anything like that but they’re at least they’re in a tray where they’re not rolling around all over the place in there so there’s that one it looks exactly the same so I’m going to get these in the microwave and U for a

Minute and a half and I’ll be back all right so here they are out of the microwave I did let them set for like a minute or so probably minute and a half uh this is the Southwest you can see the corn and this is the beef and cheese and

You may have to like cut them little you can see they popped a little bit and they did leak a little bit and this one was like it busted open almost immediately and it started bubbling like mad and then this one just opened up on

The end so that’s it’s pretty good um I haven’t turned these or done anything with them I’ll probably rotate that one I like to cut these in half just so you can see how filled they are pretty decently filled um you can see there’s not a lot of extra like um

Burrito tortilla around so that’s pretty good and then here’s this one yeah not too bad I think I like the looks of the the beef one that has all the red sauce in it better than I do that but that’s just a personal thing I’m going to bite I’m going to cut these

Into like four pieces just so it can get uh cooler quicker so I can try them out normally I’d probably just cut these in half and then um go from there they have the texture of like a more of like an egg roll like a fried egg roll then

They do a burrito cuz they got a little bit of a you can feel it’s like a little oily greasy kind of texture like they’ve been deep fried but anyway I’m going to uh take these over the table and we’ll give them a try okay right so I’m going

To try just the the beef and Che cheese first and I’m going to try it out of the center I know they’re many but but they really are very very small so two burritos 290 calories for the beef and cheese so what is that 150 145 each

Something like that um so they’re tiny for 145 calories that’s pretty shocking I do like um I really like the texture of that it’s um it’s not crispy because I didn’t do it in the oven I did it in the microwave if you did in the oven in

The air fryer it’s probably going to crisp up the outside of that burrito um since I did it in the microwave it’s a little more um softer or Tender the tortilla is and the um so you’re not getting that crispiness but you are getting still a really nice texture it’s

A little more chewy on the outside but the texture on the inside is really nice it’s not mushy or too um wet or anything like that it has a nice texture to it it’s nothing really chewy but it’s just uh has a nice texture to it it goes

Really well with the outside um tortilla being a little chewy I’m going try the end cuz sometimes the end when you doing the microwaves they get really dried out it’s not really Dy out but it’s just a lot thicker so there’s a lot more of that

Tortilla to chew through um so it’s just a lot chewier whereas the center part has a lot more of the beef and cheese so it’s a little softer so I do I like the texture of that one fine the um the beef and cheese what I really like about it

The flavor-wise they’re not spicy like really they’re not hot or anything like that you do get the seasoning from the burrito like a taco type seasoning but it’s not hot I mean at all so I don’t I think if you don’t like hot food you’d

Be fine the uh you really get the meat flavor though the beefy kind of flavor and you also get the cheese so I really appreciate that you actually taste the cheese because sometimes sometimes you eat this stuff and you just don’t get that flavor I think it’s really nice I like

Those um I would probably rather excuse me talk and trying to swall at the same time not a good idea um I think I’d probably like them better in the oven just because I would like a little bit more of a crispy texture on the outside

Cuz right now they have more of a if you ever microwaved egg rolls and I said they kind of look like egg rolls they kind of have that fried um flavor like you fried the outside of them so if you I think if you bake them in the oven it

Would get rid of some of that and crisp them up a little bit the way they are now the flavor you get that oily kind of deep fried flavor and it’s not bad it’s just I think it wouldn’t be as bad if you put them in the oven um so let me

Try the um Southwest and again it’s supposed to be chicken uh montere Jack cheeses corn and peppers and black it’s definitely a different flavor texture wise it’s pretty much the same you do get a little bit more of a texture of the chicken the whereas the

The beef was more chunky like the little pieces of like ground beef the chicken is more um soft and mushy not I hate to say mushy it’s softer it’s just a softer texture you’re not really chewing on a lot plus there’s beans and corn in here which tend to be softer as

Well not bad though you really taste the beans surprisingly and you also get the pepper flavor really strong the sauce or the flavor of the sauce in these it doesn’t really say what kind of it doesn’t say a sauce it just says mon Jack cheeses um it doesn’t say a SAU is

In here but you you taste some seasonings in the chicken I’m assuming um they’re different greatly different than the beef and cheddar ones so just know the beef and cheese so they do taste different which is a good thing and these were two for 270 um it also still has that deep fried

Kind of deep fried egg roll kind of flavor it’s still has that kind of flavor too um I like both of these uh like I said I think both of these would be beneficial better uh and better in the oven or the air fryer I think you

Would just enjoy them better in either one of those um just to crisp up the outside cuz they do say many crispy Tac burritos um they’re not crispy in the microwave they’re very soft and chewy um again not bad which is what they are um yeah I think they would benefit from

Being in the oven cuz I would like that crispier texture but um flavor-wise they’re good they the Southwest were not hot either um so if you don’t like hot foods you’d be fine with that one as well I’m going to get both of them a

Four out of five I do enjoy them I wish there was a little bit more going on as far as the season I wish they were a little bit spicier I know they’re mild but I wish they had a little bit more of a like a the beef and cheese one had a

Little bit more of a taco kind of spice and I wish the um the Southwest had more of that pepper flavor and it’s there it’s just not as strong as I personally would like it but I’m going to give them both a four out of five I personally like the beef and cheese

Better than the Southwest but that’s just a personal preference you know you’re going to make that choice on your own so um so yeah definitely worth trying out you only get eight burritos uh for 10 almost $10 $950 you get eight little burritos I don’t know it’s kind

Of expensive but you know you got to make that judgment on your own so hope you enjoy this video thanks for [Applause] Watching [Applause]
