Beefy 5-layer burr(ule)ito

Given the hygiene and food safety during the Victorian era, a taco bell burrito would be the cleanest food that child has ever eaten.
- Counter point, that kid is not ready for advanced spices like cumin.
  
  Cumin has been used as a spice in the Middle East and India for 1000s of years and was introduced to the Americas by the Spanish in the 1500s.
  
  Wasn't that when Europe was colonizing everyone to get spices?
- Sure, but the bacteria they'd be used to from back then would probably be fairly different from the bacteria we're used to today.
  
  I'm not sure it would be different enough to matter. Otherwise diseases like the bubonic plague wouldn't be consistent throughout the past thousand years.
- Imagine if that child grew up and invented Taco Bell, they truely won the franchise wars by using time travel.
