Taco Cat, besides being a magical and elusive animal, is also a wonderful palindrome — meaning that it’s spelled the same forward and backwards.
Singer-songwriter Parry Gripp, who recently brought us Burrito Van, keeps the Tex-Mex love going with TACOCAT — a fun animated music video and spelling lesson. Please watch this, and have fun getting the song unstuck from your head today.

Quesadillas do not need help to be awesome. But if we were to improve on them, they’d probably need to involve a bacon weave and some mac and cheese.
Thrillist knows this, and recently took the quesadilla to new levels. The Bacon Mac n Cheese Quesadilla uses a bacon weave instead of the tortillas. Then, plain old boring cheese is out… mac n cheese is in. A ‘how to’ is available here.

If you’ve ever wondered how you could improve upon the near-perfect quesadilla… Serious Eats has the answer.
The Pizzadilla is brought to us by their Managing Culinary Director/mad scientist, J. Kenji López-Alt. It starts innocently enough as a quesadilla, cooked awesomely in a cast iron pan, then appropriately topped with all the pizza fixins.
Now that’s some fusion we can get behind.

Sorry, tortilla chips… you’ve been replaced. But hang your head high, you crispy triangles, as you’ve served our nachos well to this point.
Thanks to our friends over at Thrillist, there are now Chimichachos… which are nachos made with mini-chimichangas instead of our outdated chips.
Not only could this new concoction be your new favorite appetizer and/or drunk-food, but the name chimichachos is extremely fun to say. It sounds like the name of a cool luchador, or the Mexican version of The Fonz’s nephew.

If you’re into doing the downward dog, a few warrior ones, and dig some good tex-mex — you should check out The Burrito Yoga Mat Bag.
Brought to us by Brogamats, the carrier comes equipped with a foil-wrapped burrito on the outside, and a yummy yoga mat filling. It’s part of a series of yoga mats and carriers designed for the male yogi.
And then there’s the possibility that you hate yoga and just need something to carry your giant burrito around. Namaste, burrito-eater.
