Neato Burrito



I've gotten very into burritos lately. This is probably from eating at a local bar / taqueria called Bimbo's Cantina. (Don't make fun.)

I like their burritos, but don't like spending $7 for each one. So, I make them myself for next to nothing, and bring them to school as my lunch; they fit perfectly into my small, flat plastic container.

I always make super-size burritos, because this is my protein, and small burritos....just seem...kind of pointless to someone with such a healthy, young man's appetite.

As always, the more pure the beans, the better, and dry beans (maybe sprouted,) are better than from a can, but that's usually not an option for busy people like myself.

Also, I don't like the way the cheap, traditional tortillas are made (the ingredients,) and will probably go to somewhere like whole foods and pay a little more next time. The cost per burrito is still quite low. In comparison to what you would pay to nurture a burrito habit at the taqueria? Yes. Pennies.

You can put whatever you want on a burrito, but, lacking the creativity to put anything than the usually expected stuff for now, I make them with soy-based sour cream, avacado, tomato, lettuce, again- standard brown rice, and of course, pinto beans. Although I remember once mastering the art of the sandwich for a very short time, and knowing that great sandwiches and wraps are easy, burro's currently trump any sandwich I could make, in tastiness, presentation, and satiation.
