The discontinued chilito, rebuilt: thick beef chili, refried beans and cheddar melted into the filling. Ten burritos in 30 minutes, and they freeze.

Crispy seasoned potato cubes, smoky chipotle sauce, lettuce and cheddar in a soft tortilla. Eight tacos, plus the salt step the original recipe misses.

Warm chips under refried beans, seasoned beef, nacho cheese sauce and sour cream in 15 minutes. Why the cheese has to be poured, not melted.

Refried beans, onion, cheddar and red sauce in a flour tortilla, in five minutes. Plus why the Mild packet is the wrong sauce for the job.

Blue Powerade, Mountain Dew and lemon-lime soda over ice in five minutes. The ratio that keeps it teal instead of murky green, plus the freeze version.

Seasoned beef, rice and chipotle sauce rolled up, then cheese toasted onto both faces of the tortilla. Four burritos, thirty minutes, one griddle.

The chain’s chicken quesadilla in 15 minutes, with creamy jalapeno sauce spread on before the tortilla hits the pan. Makes two, serves four.

Four ingredients and five minutes in a blender, plus the pickled jalapeno step most copycat recipes skip. Creamy, tangy, ready before the pan is hot.

Bobby Flay Coleslaw with green cabbage, carrots and a mustard-forward mayonnaise dressing. Ten minutes, no cooking, serves 8.

Bobby Flay Lasagna with a braised pork and beef shank bolognese, strained ricotta and fontina bechamel. Serves 6 to 8, from Throwdown.
