This recipe is nowhere near the Santa Fe gorditta from Taco Bell. I made it twice because I so wanted to like it. I used store bought chili sauce the first time and then my homemade sauce. Nope. Not even close. The bean salsa is off also. I didn't expect it to be identical to the one TB used to have, but I did expect it to at least remind me of it. It didn't. Also, the recipe is missing (at the time I'm writing this review) the amount of onion in the bean salsa. Very disappointed.

I love this recipe! It taste close to the real thing. I don't have cooked chicken on hand so I decided to grill my own and the result was fantabulous! Can make Taco Bell run for its money!
