0 Favorite

I miss Taco Bell for so many yrs now and just wen they opened in India (Bangalore) i had to move here and surprisingly there is no sight of it anywhere in the UK! altho m sure the indian version wud b indo-mexican for sure, still waitin to get bak n try it! Mexican food is not something u fall in love with at first sight/taste, in fact the first time i stepped into a taco bell i hated it! it takes a lot of gettin used to esp for the indian palate, but hell i wud die to find a mex restaurant nearby anytime now.. n brat loves it too, so almost every other day we have either tacos or bean burritos for dinner.. (yes its exceptionaly easy to make too :P)! Anyways without further blah, here is our all time favourite potato burrito made with typical taco-bell style cheesy fiesta potatoes, right at home!
