Your weekly burrito consumption

My lunch today will be a frozen burrito and a can of Red Bull.
One day, in a hospital bed, I'll wonder if it was all worth it.

Ha, it was less than two years later that that prophecy fulfilled itself.

so was it all worth it?

The prophecy was fulfilled and so was I.

gold is making a weak case for LA burritoes

I found a place near my house that sells chile rellenos burritos with TWO rellenos in them (wrapped in beans & then MORE asadero cheese!). Fucking joyous.

now that Burritoville is dead (RIP), I do not eat burritos

My favorite lunch at work item is the burrito (made with whatever's in my fridge, so not very authentic in any way). My favorite lunch at home item is the quesadilla. Probably only buy burritos once, maybe twice a month...I'd shell out for chile rellenos burritos though.

I don't like rice in the burrito. The tortilla is enough starch.

My chicken burrito has caramelized onions (cooked in red wine and brown sugar), refried black beans, jack cheese and chicken shredded and moistened with salsa. Serve with huge dollops of guacamole and sour cream. Damn good. Can do the same with ground or shredded beef.

is that like beer goggles?

I thought it was a roll of burrito paper.

you know that part in trains planes and automobiles where Del Griffith was all "i haven't been home in years" and then Neal Paige thinks about it a lot, all voice echoing in his head and stuff

well i haven't had a good burrito in years

nm, dry spell broken

got a california burrito from my favorite taco shop in the World (victoria's on main and lincoln in el cajon) and took it to torrey pines state beach for the eating

a california is carne asada and fries btw, less a burrito newb not know it

wait, so it has fries inside the burrito?

¡claro! eating the fries on the side would just make the burrito a burger i think.

I think I've actually had a burrito from there - it was excellent. I was in El Cajon for all of three days.

really? down the street from city hall, next door to a chaldean market? it's my all-time favorite, my friend used to live in the taft apartments behind it and we'd always stumble over there to get our late-night burritage. el compadre on second street, right off the 8, is also good and features the popular drive-thru thru the a-frame setup. el cajon is my hometown, i'm glad you had a favorable visit, burrito-wise anyway.

My weekly burrito consumption might increase in the near future. There's a new Meixcan foodtruck at 16th & Callowhill in Philadelphia (right near a major INS office).

This truck turned out to be owned and run by an Indonesian couple who had been taught by Mexicans. Obviously, my burrito consumption has increased substantially since moving to Albuquerque.

i haven't had a real burrito in months. i've had burrito bowls from chipotle, but it's not the same. must remedy soon.

i think the last one i had was the carne asada burrito from the la estrella taco truck in highland park, the night i went to see william basinski and lucky dragons.

Moving back to SF from NOLA on Saturday. I'm gonna miss the poboys, but taqueria Cancun here I come!

Do french fries belong inside of burritos? What do you think?

you know, there was a time when people questioned whether or not potatoes belonged inside french fries. nowadays, most people don't even know about that struggle. that's kind of where we are with french fry burritos today, i think

Only if rice and beans vanish from the earth.

we should also ask ourselves, if a burro ate a burrito would that be considered cannibalism?

I am specifically referring to the burrito style described here which is now seen all over (?) the country.

If French fries belong in a kebab, they also belong in a burrito.

Anyway, only one ILX poster has the legitimacy required to weigh in on this.

your mom is a burrito

xp -- I already did!

Mod socks... I hadn’t considered it.

No, of course not.

yes, i took one look at that crappy post, and decided to fix it by changing "burritos" to "burrito studies"

inside the ilx poster's studio

the amended version has the greater wit, but it suffers from poor placement

I do not understand the appeal of burritos.

One of the wrongest posts ever. One of nature's most perfect food groupings. Between breakfast burritos, quick lunches with beans and cheese in the microwave, and full on dinner ones with all the fixin's, I'm probably at 5-6 per week. Or more.

That said, the California burrito really does not look good to me.

as the horse Boxer says, I WILL WORK HARDER!

it’s called a California burrito? Huh.

can I get fried clams in a burrito

I'd wolf one down if offered.

i know this doesn't even really qualify as food but I got one of these by accident a couple of years ago and it was genuinely one of the worst things I've ever put in my mouth:

i'm sorry i don't understand the question

Do french fries belong inside of burritos? What do you think?

are ppl who live outside of southern california allowed to have opinions on mexican food? asking for a friend

i mean "mexican" food

they don't really eat burritos in mexico so much

Everyone's allowed an opinion on 'Mexican' food, as long as you acknowledge the scare quotes.
