We can't send you sizzle in a box. (It would probably cool down between Chicago and your front door.) But the sizzle is metaphorical. Chipotle pork and classic pepper and onion fill the tacos beautifully, with a little cooling cream and lime on top. Sizzle in a box is hard; deliciousness in a box is on the way.
