You know you want some
So since the school year started, we've probably eaten at Chipotle more than any other place. It's quick, yummy, filling, and close by, so why not! However, one cannot go to Chipotle so often without forming some opinions about the food and those who eat it, so Chris (the more experienced one) and I are here to offer our opinions and observations.
Burrito: Burritos are for people who are not as exciting as everyone else. The burrito is the standard option, chosen either by a first time customer or a plain old regular Chipotle consumer. Chris doesn't like burritos because he doesn't like beans, but he does like tortillas. People who get burritos are...plain and simple. but cool! because they're eating a yummy Chipotle! but a plain one.
Fajita Burrito: Chris ALWAYS gets a steak fajita burrito (so what does that say about them?!? I do not know.) According to him, "the onions and peppers make it SO FREAKING GOOD". My analysis? I don't think I've ever had one of these, but people who get them are just...weird.
Burrito Bowl: I ALWAYS get a chicken fajita burrito bowl. Chris's take: burrito bowls originally came around so girls could trick themselves into thinking they were eating less than they actually are, because someone said that tortillas were the fattiest part of the burrito so they took them out, but some girls cheat by actually getting the tortilla too. "When everything is mixed together perfectly, it tastes a little weird". My take: burrito bowls are the best things in the WHOLE WORLD. They allow the eater to create their own mixture of ingredients, perfect for their unique palate, right on their own fork, whereas in a burrito, all the stuff is already stuffed in there. (Chris: the POINT of a burrito is not to use any forks or knives so the name burrito bowl is an oxymoron!) OKAY whatever Chris. Anyways these things are SUPER delicious, plus they're just better - you get more stuff (because there is a limit to what you can stuff in a tortilla of fixed area) PLUS you can even add lettuce and make it LOOK like you're eating healthily! People who get burrito bowls are...girls. (according to Chris.)
Tacos: Chris has never gotten tacos before. I got tacos once before, but I don't remember them being that good. Actually, what I remember is that I got them the night of our meeting with the newly elected 2011 class officers. And what I remember about that night is...accidentally spilling my water and having Daniel Ki run into the store and take like ALLL the napkins out of the dispenser...leaving us with about a million gazillion napkins that we were too embarrassed to return. The end. People who get tacos are...either adventurous or young at heart.
Salads: We didn't even know salads were on the menu until today. If you get a salad...tell us how it is.
Steak: Steak is the choice for those who want a traditional, delicious, filling option and are willing to spend that extra quarter for some good beef. I've never seen a boy not get steak (but Chris has...because he ran out of money) but anyways. It's YUMMY.
Chicken: Chicken is the choice for those who want a traditional, delicious, filling option but are perhaps not willing to go that extra 25 cents. Chicken. is just yummy. Chris has again observed that this is often the choice of girls.
Barbacoa & Carnitas: We've pretty much never seen anyone get either barbacoa or carnitas. If you do..you're really interesting! Send us your reviews! :)
Black or Pinto Beans: I don't think there's a difference. Neither Chris nor I gets beans anyways.
Salsa: The salsa comes in all different levels of hotness depending on your tolerance or daring. Chris never gets the mild or medium salsa, but sometimes he likes to get the hot to "spice things up a bit". I always get mild. It's very yummy, but frankly, I don't think i could stand anything more than mild. One time, the hot salsa accidentally got mixed into my bowl and my mouth almost DIED OF HOTNESS. If you can handle that stuff, you're heckaa iNTENSE.
Corn: Chris and I always get corn. According to Chris, it adds an extra "zing!" to the burrito. Apparently, it adds an extra "zing!" to everything. So yay corn! You guys should get it.
Sour Cream: OMG I LOVE SOUR CREAM. It's so delicious. Especially on a burrito bowl, because it's like the dressing of the salad. Without the sour cream, the bowl is incomplete - there is no glue to mesh the deliciousness together. Chris says he has experimented by taking out each ingredient separately from his burrito, and the lack of subtle flavor of the sour cream makes the burrito taste not as good, or so he says.
Cheese: I like cheese. Chris has the same opinion of cheese as sour cream - you don't miss it until its gone.
Guacamole: I never get guacamole on my burrito bowl - that is too much for my wallet. Chris also says it's really expensive, but it makes the burrito SOOO FREAKING GOOD. He says DEF get it if you have the extra money :) YUMMMMY.
Lettuce: According to Chris, lettuce is disgusting on a burrito and makes it too big. However, it is a central part of a good burrito bowl. Therefore, when I eat a burrito bowl, I'm getting more vegetables than Chris. So eat healthy, eat a burrito bowl!
Chris's gobble of perfection: steak fajita burrito with corn, sour cream, cheese, and guacamole (if $ is available)
Christine's yumminess in her stummy: chicken fajita burrito bowl with mild salsa, corn, sour cream, cheese, and lettuce (YUM!)

Love,
Christine & Chris
wow...i cant believe i just read all that...
ReplyDeleteand i was the one that told u the tortilla was the most calories!! haha
and whatcha talking about i get carnitas everytime we go...i guess you guys are too into each other to notice!
i hate you...
that is all...
GOOD DAY!
HAHA I READ ALL OF IT TOO.
ReplyDeletei get burrito bowls because they're neater :]
YES I FINALLY FOUND YOUR'S BLOG!!
ReplyDeleteOkay. So originally the first time I got Chipotle I got a burrito with chicken and corn. Then I went vegetarian and ditched the chicken but kept the burrito/beans/cheese/hot salsa and also ditched the corn. Then I learned that the tortilla has the most calories so I switched to eating a burrito bol but eating it with chips. And along the way I discovered the beauty of getting free guacamole with any form of a veggie burrito. Then Jeffery Z told me I could ask for a side of taco shells for free instead of getting chips cause essentially they're the same thing. Then I realized that was really good, but I might as well eat tacos! So once I could view all my contents of my burrito in the tacos, I noticed it was empty, and I began to add tomatoes into the burrito party. And THEN I decided that the tacos are too hard to eat cause the shell breaks in half and your contents start spilling out of the shell. So, one day I go to Chipotle and I'm like, okay you know what? I'M GONNA GET A BURRITO. THAT'S RIGHT WITH THE FATTYASS TORTILLA. (It's worth any weight gain, fsho!) So I did it. And it was delicious.
Now my updated order is
"Vegetarian burrito to-go,
Black beans, no fajitas, no meat,
A moderate amount of tomatoes,
Hot salsa, cheese, guacamole,
No sour cream or lettuce"
MMMM DELICIOUS. Except the only problem is that I hate onions and cilantro, which can both be found in the tomatoes + guacamole. So before eating my burrito I open it up and take out each piece of onion/cilantro. It's really hard to do this and not be able to immediately dig in to my burrito, but it really helps my patience, and the suspense building up to the devouring really makes me appreciate my burrito more.
I CAN'T BELIEVE I JUST WROTE ALL OF THAT.
THIS IS WHAT HOMECOMING DOES TO ME WHEN IT ENDS :(
Anyway I love this blog/vlog/bonanza. Ahahahahha :)
The black beans are actually vegetarian/vegan, whereas the pinto beans have pork in them or are cooked with pork fat.
