This post speaks to my heart. Burritos are my absolute favorite food and it’s a goddamn travesty that I need to pay close to 16 FUCKING DOLLARS FOR A MOTHERFUCKING BURRO.
I now have to make this shit myself and it never fucking hits the same. I have to make my own tortilla, my own beans, my own salsa, literally everything to perfection just so I can have my favorite thing in the world. Nuclear apocalypse indicator for me. Guess I’ll just die now????
16 dollars? The burrito truck near me has beans and cheese for three dollars, and a loaded carne asada for $7 that prob weighs over a pound. I guess that's about the only good thing about living in the south, access to cheap Mexican food.
I live in the north where mayo is considered spicy and chipotle is the only game in town
That sucks, I have had "Mexican food" in rural ohio and it was very upsetting.
I guess the silver lining with the whole global warming thing would be your area may eventually be warm enough for Hispanic people to immigrate to and help liberate you from a spiceless life.
New burrito place opened down the street from me. Tried it once never again. Got a bean burrito, it was the owner and he wrung it up before even making it. $16. I was willing to let him take the lead cause it's his new place and he was trying to impress. Also I couldnt even see what ingredients were available so he just asked item by item and im sure he didnt go over everything. He also just did somw stuff I didnt ask for. Like putting nacho cheese sauce on it which I told him I didnt want cause vegan. I ended out with mostly rice, a tiny sprinkle of black beans. Mid af Pico and guacamole from a plastic single serve package. And sooooo much corn. It was mostly yellow in the cross section. A slightly further walk gets me a 3 bean burrito with minimal rice, homemade guac, and all the veggies I want and a fantastic Pico and its 9 damn dollars for a burrito that half is a meal for me and if I buy yhe bowl and scoop it into my own home tortilla can be my lunch before work for a week
Ngl that first burrito reads like a warcrime. Sprinkle of beans and nacho cheese? Wtf. This is him trying to impress?
Liquid nacho cheese has no place in a burrito. I can make a really good vegan queso but in a burrito? Maybe a taco, crispy shell and all. But that is anti burrito. Ive been cooking as a job since just before Obama got elected and at a new place if the owner wants to show his chops, hell yeah usually, if they really impress I'll work for em part time for a few months until I learn their secrets, it means they get to not worry about the place for a couple days so my espionage tends to cut even. I learned some of my best stuff taking a job for a lebanese place where only one guy was working before cause I was his first customer and I told him I cook and already know my way around Lebanese food, I didnt know like this guy, I had a higher paying less fun gig but I was having fun and I wanted the place to stick aroind cause I wanted to be able to keep getting the food. If this was only a little bad I may have made a similar offer cause I could go for some extra cash but the fundamentals are so off base I would go full Gordon Ramsey, he was already obstinate to me as a customer giving me cheese when I said I was vegan. I got the vibe it was a business guy who is 'passionate' about food cause doing a bit of research he opened 2 locations at once which is a clear sign of more money thsn sense
No you don't
Its really not that hard.
??? Both corn and flour tortillas are incredibly easy to make at home.
And incredibly easy to buy if you're already overwhelmed with making a burrito
Are there any good tortillas you can buy at the grocery store? They all seem to suck ass.
