US burritos.
US, cheap burritos.
On our recent trip to the US we decided to challenge ourselves to eat a burrito a day for the entire time we were there. We even rated them.
(All ratings are out of 10 possible 🌯 's. Many were shared with Joe or eaten over the course of two meals.)
Warm Up Day 1: Chicken Burrito from Chipolte
(doesn't count as a real burrito because it's from, uh, Chipolte).

Days 12-14 No Burritos - Burrito Crawl officially over. At that point we moved on to pursuing other culinary treats that we've missed since living in Switzerland.
We had:
 |
| Cheerios |
 |
| In-N-Out Burger |
 |
| Sour Cream and Onion Chips |
 |
| And HUGE turkey legs! |
We came back from America with our burrito (and junk food) cravings thoroughly satisfied. Glad to be able to only indulge when we visit.
Today's poem is a shout out to our faraway floured friend, the US, cheap burrito:
warm fillings
spicy taste
causes cravings
tortilla embrace

Ha! You had me at the title, and considering I cannot go to your top-rated place, I'll have to depend on my Denver's burritos. My son-in-law adores them, is often looking for a great one. A small diner is one place that he loves. I personally am a taco fan instead, and do have a favorite place. Happy for your find & that you found a kind of burrito that touched your heart before you had to depart! (Bad poetry day!)
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of tacos as well, Linda. Someday I'd love to share some Mexican food with you. =)
DeleteI love this! Glad I got to share one of your meals while you were here. Miss you already :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jessica! We are SO glad we got to spend a bit of time with you and Nick while we were 'crawling'. We miss you, too. :)
