Rockie Hiser and Tate Bauman developed the "Wrapito," a mini chicken burrito, during an Iron Chef-like contest, beating out three other semifinal teams. The Wrapito will become a limited-time offering on Taco John's menu. Proceeds from its sales would benefit the WLRA Education Foundation. The winning chefs also each receive a $500 scholarship.
