Confession time. There’s only one thing we love more than french fries. It’s onion rings. Crazy for ‘em. So when we got wind that there was something rings-related cooking in the Quest™ test kitchen, we sent a strongly worded instant message demanding more information. This is what we learned. Loaded onion rings featuring Quest Loaded Taco flavored Tortilla Style Protein Chips are very real. They’re easy to make. They’re delicious. We’re eating them as we write this and making a big mess.
