> [@](#): > > and one that’s not as easily summed up in one word: the enjoyment of explosions. Men like things that go BANG, like fireworks, dynamite, se… But that’s directly attributable to their “Hungry” thing. See, eating food causes gas. Gas causes loud noises. Explosions are just a subset of farts. Man, I’m really drunk. ---

Hey, that sounds pretty good…considering that it came from a West Hollywood chef. I strongly disagree with the pico de gallo garnish, however. ---

This talk of what goes in a burrito from people all over the country makes me groan. Cauliflower? Red Rooster Sauce? Folks, I live a mere 40 miles from the mexican border. When I eat burritos, they come not from an american abomination like taco bell. I go where the mexicans go for mexican food. The **true** burrito that I know and love has meat (your choice), **pinto** beans, cilantro, onion, and salsa. No cotton candy, asparagus, BBQ sauce or whatever other horrendous concotion you can think of. It’s pretty damn simple. Wrap whatever you want in a tortilla and enjoy it to your hearts delight, but please don’t call it a burrito. Damn, I’m hungry! ---

Simmering on my stove is: [li] Four pounds of cubed pork shoulder[/li] [li] Three white onions, diced and sweated[/li] [li] _Twelve_ (count them), twelve large cloves of garlic, minced[/li] [li] One can of chicken stock[/li] [li] The juice from a 28 oz. can of Herdez Salsa Casera[/li] [li] Two 6 oz. cans of Ortega fire roasted green chiles, minced[/li] [li] Three teaspoons of oil[/li] [li] One teaspoon of ground cumin[/li] [li] One teaspoon of salt[/li]Waiting for the meat to become tender is: [li] A pot of freshly cooked cranberry red beans[/li] [li] A large bowl of freshly cooked Spanish rice[/li] [li] The strained Herdez Salsa Casera[/li] [li] A dozen welcome mat sized white flour tortillas (+14" in diameter)[/li] [li] A flawless brick of Monterey Jack aged for an extra **five months**![/li] This is otherwise known as _Zenster’s Burrito Factory_.™ The only debate is whether to add the tin of tomatillos. I know they belong in a proper _Chile Verde_, but what I have going tastes so perfect I am really hesitant to add anything else to it.

To hell with the tomatillos, this is one of the best green chile stews I have ever made. I can’t wait to see what this tastes like after marrying up overnight. Them’s gonna be some damn fine burritos! ---

GREEN CHILE STEWS?!? Ok, this has gone on long enough. You guys just aren’t getting it. A proper burrito is a mechanical marvel as well as a culinary masterpiece. A proper burrito must be capable of being eaten with the hands. Some hold that a burrito should be eaten with both hands. That, however, is a minority position. The better view is that the burrito should be well-filled, but capable of being eaten with one hand, the other being used for your beer. **Zenster** , no doubt your concoction is tasty, however, things like Chile Verde burritos and Chile Colorado burritos are the creation of fancy-pants restaurants. They are way too wet and you could never pick them up. Why, you’d have to eat them with a knife and fork! They are, therefore, not “true” burritos at all. This explains why pico de gallo is the salsa of choice and why such extreme care must be taken when applying gaucamole and sour cream. Pushing the envelope risks a “burrito blowout” and that’s something no one wants to see happen. ---

You do realize when I mentioned Red Rooster Sauce that I was talking about the way chicken should be eating (with rice, teriyaki sauce, hot pepper sauce, etc.) and NOT burritos, right? ---

This raises an almost interesting question - **is** there, in fact, any other country in the world crass enough to allow Taco Bells to proliferate? I certainly had never seen one until I ventured to Seattle. \*\* Almost interesting facts: Taco Hell is part of Tricon Global (along with KFC and Pizza Hut). Internationally, it’s the least popular of the three, bringing in 2% of the international sales of Tricon. There are 127 Taco Bells in Canada, 6 in Australia, 33 in Puerto Rico, and 83 other (1 of which is on Yongsan Army installation in Seoul, South Korea.)
