Gobble up, yinz.

The Gobblerito dish is returning to Mad Mex restaurants on Sept. 23. They’ll be available through Thanksgiving Eve.

The popular combination of Thanksgiving dinner staples wrapped in a burrito includes house-roasted turkey, black bean mashed potatoes, stuffing, and corn.

“The whole thing is doused with house-made gravy and paired with jellied cranberry sauce,” Mad Mex says of its calorie-infused creation.

A Mad Mex employee previously told the Trib the origin story of the Gobblerito: Out drinking with friends in Philadelphia about 11 years ago, he stumbled into a Philadelphia diner and ordered turkey and mashed potatoes slathered in gravy. He realized it would make a great burrito.

The dish contains 1,483 calories, according to myfitnesspal.
