I think it's obvious that this is not—by any definition—a salad. It's in the spirit of the Salad Quest, though, because this taco platter makes it possible to eat at Flaming Amy's without leaving so stuffed that a nap immediately becomes priority one.
This is two grilled chicken tacos ($5.50) with side orders of chipotle chilies and guacamole (extra). It's delicious and (relatively) light. It took me years of eating at Flaming Amy's to finally realize that I can eat there more often if I eat this.
I don't want to rain on anyone's Flaming Amy's parade or anything but, for me, the knowledge that there is upwards of 1500 calories in a burrito put a real damper on the fun—especially since a burrito is really best consumed with a nice, frothy beer. Of course, that estimate could be wrong. (That link is about Chipotle burritos since Flaming Amy's doesn't publish nutrition information.) I don't know what exactly goes into a Flaming Amy's burrito. Do they use lard in the beans? How much rice is that exactly? Frankly I'd like to know and this fact-finding mission if just the sort of job we like at Wilmaville.
Does anyone but me care, though?
I'll go find out, if you say you want to know in the comments. And which burrito should I look into?
