Yo quiero.
Let me offer a life-changing suggestion: Walk into your favorite Taco Bell and order an Enchirito.
The cashier may hesitate. They may ask you to repeat yourself. "A what?" the cashier may ask.
Don't be deterred. State your order again, clearly. A more senior burrito artist may come forward to assist, showing the cashier which computer buttons to poke to access the forgotten items of Taco Bell Past. The Enchirito is there, hidden in the depths of the menu, waiting for some hero to come and call its name. Enchirito, the best fucking thing at Taco Bell.
Trust me, I know. I'm a T-Bell scholar.

You can no longer find the Enchirito — a combination of beans, ground beef, and tiny onions hugged by a warm flour tortilla and blanketed in melted cheese — on Taco Bell's brightly colored website. But that doesn't mean this is a secret menu item. I repeat, this is not a secret. Secret menu items are exclusive. Only cool people know about them, clinging to the knowledge like a badge of honor. The Enchirito is for the people. It's not about being hip, unique, cool. It's about flavor. It's about the motherfucking sauce.
The life blood of Taco Bell is the restaurant's signature "red sauce." The classic bean burrito, for example, is just five ingredients: beans, onions, cheese, tortilla, and sweet-tangy-spicy-delicious red sauce. Unless you get a wack burrito artist who doesn't put enough sauce on it, the bean burrito is near perfect.
Well, the Enchirito takes that perfection to a whole other level, because it is literally covered — slathered, lathered, bathed — in red sauce. And, again, topped with melted cheese.
