Taco John’s Launches Burrito Inspired by YouTube creator The Fat Electrician
The Fat Grilled Burrito, available at participating locations from now to Aug. 27 for $8.99, features grilled chicken, sirloin steak, potato Olés, nacho cheese, a four-cheese blend and chipotle ranch. A portion of the proceeds will benefit a national charity supporting military members, veterans, first responders and their families, in recognition of Flood’s service as an Army combat medic. Taco Johns has 323 locations in 22 states including 51 in Minnesota.
Flood visited the company’s headquarters and test kitchen to develop the recipe alongside Taco John’s chefs.
“Taco John’s let me create the burrito I’ve always wanted, and I can guarantee one thing: it’s going to be delicious.” Flood said.
“This wasn’t a collaboration that was created because of a contract or a marketing plan, it started because Nic was a genuine fan who shared the story of Taco John’s with his community,” Brad Bergaus, corporate chef and director of menu innovation at Taco John’s, said in the release. “We were excited to help him share that passion with other fans by giving him the ultimate platform to do something fans rarely get to do: step inside the kitchen and help create something they can actually order.”
