The Ultimate Chipotle Burrito

[DarkKestral]

Pork or Barbacoa
Black Beans
Peppers & Onions
Rice
Hot Salsa if Barbacoa or Salsa Verde if Pork
Cheese
Sour Cream
Guacamole

Myself, I'm a fan of Salsa Verde in combination with pork, though I've had it and other similar sauces enough with beef that I know it goes well with beef too. But I prefer the hot sauce for Barbacoa, because I prefer my salsas really hot. However, the carnitas are slightly ahead, if only because they were the first restaurant I found that actually made carnitas. I love my braised pork...

I just meant that you can score the free burros. And quality to boot.

The best I can afford is Taco Bell Takeout.

Odd, I always spend more money at Taco Bell than I do at Chipotle...

Is that due to the "but its so cheap I should get one of those too" factor? I used to be bad about that. Always bought more than I could ...should eat.

I have never been to Chipotle. I was assuming you were referring to the pepper.

In Utah, our ubiquitous Tex-Mex Mexican places are Bajio Grill, Cafe Rio, and Costa Vida. They all are pretty much the same. I enjoy the pork and chicken enchiladas.

I rarely get any type of burrito. My home town has a Taco Time and I always get burritos there; usually Barbacoa shredded beef and chicken, both regular and BLT.

As an aside, I really do not like Taco Bell. I have to eat there once every few years to remind myself why I do not eat there.

Were it a burrito from an unspecified location I could have answer... But since the answer is attached to a specific competing brand (and might be a construed as sly attempt at marketing), I can not answer.

I suppose I am doing a bit of marketing here, but it it's not what it looks like. I do not own stock in the company, and nobody I am related to works for them. I'm just a loyal customer, promoting his favorite eating establishment.

Pork, black beans, green salsa, sour cream, lettuce, guac.

Though usually do a bowl instead of a burrito, or somtime three soft tacos (and then I get three different salsas).

Yeah, but the problem is eating the same burritos/food at least 2 days every week every week of the year for the most of my life get's tiring. With that said, on the rare occasion that I absolutely desire mexican food (and do not want to eat my family's food) I tend to do it outside a 1- 2 mile radius from the restaurant (when not checking out the competition).

As far as Taco Bell goes, I hate them since I often find myself ordering two or more items from there just to feel satisfied and also because they also discontinued one of my all time favorite fast-food burritos, the Chilitto during the late 90s. There is also the issue of that degrading annoying Chihuahua (may Gidget and Dinky rot in their graves)....

I will answer my favorite items to place on my burrito (from any place that serves them):

Chorizo, eggs, potatoes, sour cream, rice, little beans (not black), salsa (either hot/spicy or enchilada sauce) and cheese. It qualifies as a heart attack served in a flour tortilla and is greasy as hell but it's what I like like.

I often feel full after eating their Mexican Pizza.

Did you know that there is a "secret menu" at Chipotle? It's true. Next time you are in, order one of the following things that are not on the menu:

Nachos (a burrito bowl with chips instead of rice)

Black Bean Stew (black beans, salsa verde, corn salsa, and tomatoes)

Quesadillas (with or without meat)

And I'm not sure I believe this, but someone in class said she got a chimichanga there once: they took her burrito back into the kitchen (where they make the corn chips) and deep-fried it. I'm no expert, but it seems like that would just make a mess in the fryer.

Most places have a secret menu.

Believe me if they deep fry other things besides chips, then I wouldn't think about the deep fryer too much.. It's just easier that way...
