The Burrito

[Roadtrip635]

This will be controversial, but I contend that a burrito CAN be too large. There is a point where it's impossible to hold and, if successfully held, it cannot ever be put down without it just falling apart. This forces one to--gasp--take a fork and knife and cut an access hatch into the top so the insides can be eaten. Am I wrong?

Depends on the type of burrito you want to make. There is a size limit for a hand-held burrito, but then there's the smothered burrito, there are no size limits for a smothered burrito. There used to be this little restaurant when I was younger that made the "Super Burrito", it was big, easily bigger around than my wrist. It was overstuffed with with picadillo, refried beans, rice and so much cheese, there would have been no way to eat that bad boy with your hands. They put it on a plate, smothered it with their chili con carne sauce, even more cheese, top it with some shredded lettuce, diced tomato, a healthy dollop of sour cream and guac, sprinkle some pico de gallo on top and a cup of their fresh salsa on the side..... dig in and suffer the consequences later.

Pinto beans???

It’s what refried beans is made from. The brownish beans.

Large tortilla (warmed)
Ground up sirloin hamburger meat
Mexican rice
Refried Beans
Blended Shredded Monterey Jack and Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
A very light smattering of finely diced lettuce so your wife won't complain of no veggies.


You're welcome.

You do realize I am not going to delete posts that are off topic for say, enchiladas, tacos, chimichangas?

I also think some are going to take exception with your headline The Burrito, as if that is the definitive one. I would have gone with Burritos because you know how this crowd likes to argue. We could do 10 pages on the order of ingredients that go into a burrito.

well yeah. He only used 1 TB hot sauce. Needs at least a half dozen.

How in the hell could anyone not love sour cream? Actually I was going to have another burrito today, but.......no sour cream, yep.....bummed!

Do you have any milk? Just leave is out in the sun for about 4 hours and you will have a good substitute for the flavor.

I usually look for items to give me a reason to use copious amounts of salsa. Then again, I could just eat it with a spoon. Or even without a spoon.

Last night was our "Taco Tuesday" we go to almost every week when we can. I'm tired of the food there and decided on a homemade burrito. I would have been better off microwaving a convenience store frozen burrito. People try to "church it up" to many times and forget what a burrito is supposed to be.

I ate about half and couldn't stomach it anymore.
