Bajio Mexican Grill's "Rice Chimichanga"??

A few weeks ago I was in line at Bajio Mexican Grill in American Fork and had just ordered my favorite entree, Bajio's Chicken Green Chile Stuffed Quesadilla when I noticed that the two people behind me ordered Bajio's Beef Chimichanga. As I watched them prepare the Beef Chimichangas I instantly wanted to change my order. Not wanting to upset the cooks I restrained myself and stuck with the Chicken Green Chile Stuffed Quesadilla. However, I swore to myself that the next time I entered Bajio's I would try their Beef Chimichanga.

Well fast forward three weeks and here I was again at Bajio's anxiously awaiting the opportunity to devour their Beef Chimichanga smothered in green sauce. I was stoked. As they prepared my Beef Chimichanga my heart sunk at the small amount of beef that was put in the tortilla. Just two seconds before my order I watched them load up two beef tacos with mounds of beef. I felt like I was getting royally cheated. However, they did load my Chimichanga up with enough rice to feed a small country! I thought "okay maybe this won't be so bad if they really load it up with a lot of green sauce!" Again I was sorely disappointed! Apparently "enchilada style" doesn't mean a whole lot at Bajio's. To add insult to injury the beef that was put on the Chimichanga was very, very dry!

So here I was with Bajio Mexican Grill's latest addition to their menu, Bajio's "Rice Chimichanga"! Next time I'll stick with Bajio's Chicken Green Chile Stuffed Quesadilla!

California Pizza Kitchen - Mango Tandoori Chicken Pizza

On Monday we went out to eat at the California Pizza Kitchen in Orem. The California Pizza Kitchen is a great place for the whole family! One of the deciding factors of us choosing The California Pizza Kitchen in Orem that night was that kids eat free Monday through Thursday as long as the accompanying adult orders an entree that is more than $10.

The first California Pizza Kitchen opened in 1985 in Beverly Hills, California by Rick Rosenfield of Chicago and Larry Flax. Rick and Larry wanted to capitalize on the growing popularity of a "California Style" of pizza (thin crust with non-conventional toppings). One of their first pizzas was The Original BBQ Chicken Pizza which is a huge phenomenon and delicious to say the least. California Pizza Kitchen is now in over 28 states and in over 13 different international locations. CPK has also partnered with Kraft to create their frozen pizzas which are sold in all 50 states. So in case you wanted to know a little history about CPK there you have it!

Now back to what I ordered on Monday night. I ordered the Mango Tandoori Chicken Pizza. The Mango Tandoori Chicken Pizza is made of Grilled Tandoori Chicken (kinda spicy), mango, mild onions, red peppers and Mozzarella cheese on a SPICY golden curry sauce. Topped with fresh cilantro and a sweet mango-chili sauce. I found that the Mango Tandoori Chicken Pizza was the perfect combination of sweet and spicy with a tangy kick to it! I thought it was delicious and give it five exclamation points!!!!!

Here are a couple of other Pizzas at California Pizza Kitchen that I highly recommend. First you have to try The Original Barbeque Chicken Pizza. It's awesome! Second and on the lighter side try the California Club Pizza. I'm definitely looking forward to my next outing to the California Pizza Kitchen.

If you have any pizza recommendations at CPK please let me know in the comment section!
