Inspired, I like that. I bought a cookbook the other day, and no kidding, it didn’t have recipes inside — it had “inspirations.” One teaspoon of crushed red pepper — it’s the stuff dreams are made of.

Taco Bell is expanding its menu to include breakfast and dessert items. The Bell is going big, too, with larger portions. And nothing is bigger than the XXL Steak Nachos.

Here’s the blueprint: a triple portion of thick-cut steak piled with melted cheese, guacamole, pico de gallo and low-fat sour cream on tortilla chips.

Total calories: 1,160. Fat grams: 61. Sodium: 2,140 mg. Dietary fiber: 16 g. Protein: 38 g. Carbs: 115 g. Manufacturer’s suggested retail price: $5.99.

This is more than a pound of diet-busting, belly-filling food that totally fits the bill for Taco Bell’s invented “fourth meal.” Taco Bell is calling this “restaurant size,” hinting that it’s enough for two or more.

Yeah, right. This is Taco Bell. Its customers are good eaters. XXL Steak Nachos is a serving for one. I can see a car packed with eight teenagers pulling into the drive-thru at 1 a.m.: “Uh, can we have eight of those big, ginormous nacho things I saw on TV?”

XXL — is that your order, or your shirt size? If not now, eat too many of these, and it will be soon.

You can Google every diet in the world and not find one that XXL Steak Nachos doesn’t blow to smithereens. It’s more than 1,000 calories, plus high levels of fat and sodium. Low-carb diet?

In the immortal words of John McEnroe, you cannot be serious.

Good thing Taco Bell includes “low-fat” sour cream. They wouldn’t want to make this fattening or anything.

Putting low-fat sour cream on the XXL Steak Nachos is like ordering a Quadruple Bacon Cheeseburger and a Quintuple Hot Fudge Sundae and, oh, a Diet Coke. By that time, what’s the difference?

XXL Steak Nachos is everything that makes Taco Bell spin: meat, cheese, Mexican-inspired flavor, guac, pico and chips. It’s the perfect storm of heavy-duty snacking, if 1,160 calories is your idea of a snack. I’d hate to hear what you had for dinner.

It’s also the messiest concoction in Taco Bell’s history. Everything is small, and nothing is tied down. Hit one speed bump at more than 10 mph, and forget the carwash … you’ll have to put an ad in Auto Trader.

XXL Steak Nachos are so ridiculously loaded with calories and fat, you can only imagine how terrific they taste. And they do. The real problem is, you may feel nachos remorse the next day.

But tomorrow can wait.
