Here’s a step up from your basic under $1 frozen burrito. This is a roughly 7 1/2 inch tortilla folded over in half on the filling. In short, it’s a quesadilla. The tortilla is “pre-toasted” giving it some substance even after freezing. At 400 calories it’s big enough to feel like you’ve had more than a snack. The filling is tasty and mildly spicy. On the negative side, the filling is somewhat pasty – although not as much as those under $1 frozen burritos. There are small chunks of chicken mixed in with the other ingredients giving the filling a little more texture. The quesadilla cooks up nicely in the microwave using the printed directions (3 minutes on 50% power and then 1 minute on high). Overall, for a relatively inexpensive frozen entrée, this is a good choice but not reaching the level of greatness.
Price $3.69 (2 per box) Calories 400 per quesadilla

This is a four cheese blend that when melted together tastes like one. So why not just start with one?

Hominy, that tough tasteless white, as if just returning from a vegetable vampire party, stuff that hangs out with grit. Why is this the key ingredient in posole?

This won’t put my local Mexican restaurant out of business, but for a change of pace, it’s not bad.

I thought I knew what chili verde was, until I started doing some research. In fact now I’m not even sure of the spelling, chili versus chile. I defer to what Shakespeare meant with that rose thing.
