Food director Morocco called the mozzarella and pepper Jack filling “compelling on a primordial level.” A chef on Epicurious’ panel also liked Red’s Chicken, Cilantro & Lime. Recipe developer Therese Buchanan keeps Red’s in her freezer: it “uses larger pieces of steak than many frozen burritos” (she buys the Steak & Cheddar).
