    For me, there’s a Mexican restaurant down the road from my house that does what they call Super Fries, which are loaded with carne asada (a surprising amount for the price), cheese, sour cream, guacamole, refried beans, pico de gallo, and red and green salsa.

    An absolute gut bomb, but delicious as hell.

      I was literally coming to post “Carne Asada Fries” and you decided to open with it, gee, thanks! /s

      But since you got that covered, I guess I’ll throw in my #2 - A Carne Seca Chimichanga

        Ooooh yum, that’s also an excellent “I’m being fat” meal. There’s a restaurant near me that does Korean/Mexican fusion, and their “kimchichanga” with bulgogi is amazing.

    Might be basic, but a good ‘ol pizza. When you just need a bunch of grease, nothing beats it. :)

      Especially if you’ve got a preferred dipping sauce. I’m from Oklahoma, and over here we love ranch dressing. The combination of flavors you can get on and with a pizza is mouthwatering.

    I try to avoid deep-fried food, but… there’s a Salvadoran bakery a block from me, and they make the best empanadas I’ve ever had, so… “dos pollo y dos papa” (two chicken empanadas and two stuffed potato balls) and I make some Turkish coffee, is my favorite brunch. I try to keep it down to once a month, but lately it’s been once a week…

    This isn’t necessarily a meal, but I always cheat with chips. It’s just something about the crunch that is so addicting to me. There are also chips that have way more flavor than any other snack. Doritos Flamas and Tostitos Flaming Hot are my favorites

      Yep, chips are often calling my name, especially sour flavors. Lime, salt and vinegar, dill pickle, all good stuff.

    My cheat isn’t really an awful cheat- there’s a woman in my town who runs a small Asian supermarket, who also makes handmade sushi that is just incredible. Anytime I am in there I have to get some.
