I have tried the ham and cheese version of these years ago, but didn't know this one existed. Ham and cheese is kinda funny to put in a tortilla, but like a hot sandwich. The “Taco Meat” tortilla was actually a really accurate representation of frozen burritos that I ate in the US. It was nostalgic for sure. I used to eat bean and cheese frozen burritos when I was a poor young person. Those didn't contain individual packaging and this product has a thin board to help protect you from burning yourself with melted hot cheese and sauce that could spill out of the burrito. Gouda and Mozzarella cheese are used in these burritos, which sounds more high class that what I would imagine is normally used in burritos.

Not the healthiest of foods I'm sure. Usually I avoid anything instant and microwavable unless it's needed for pure convenience. I guess that's why they are called convenience stores. It is 250 yen and I'm pretty sure the frozen burritos I bought in the US years ago were something like $2 for eight burritos. These are not exactly poor person priced. I will go for one of these again when I'm in the mood for this type of junk food and need a quick light meal, but it's not gonna be a regular. I like how tacos and burritos are interchangeable in Japanese.
