Sometimes I just don’t know why I clipped a recipe. There is more than one conundrum to be understood before me clipping this recipe makes sense. The first one is this: my spouse hates, hates, hates Gorgonzola cheese. I cannot imagine I was thinking I would be changing that. The second conundrum: I always buy the supermarket-roasted chicken because it’s extremely convenient, so why would I think of buying such a chicken to then have to skin, de-bone, and shred it, which is the very opposite of convenience?

Inside me is a conundrum rolled in questions, then wrapped in a flour tortilla, dusted with enigma and deep-fried. It was delicious.
