i always put rice with tortillas. tortillas is just the mexican version of bread. all cultures have that shit, they eat it with everything. you can have potato dishes and still have bread on the side. at my parents i'm pretty sure every meal was served with bread. when i went over to this person's family's place for meals she had a mexican grandma that made fresh tortillas for every meal and it was amazing. it had rice with that, who cares it's fresh tortillas. they were so good i bought a tortilla press for myself (i am exceedingly adept at cooking things that are flat)

anyway, shoving rice and beans and all that inside a giant tortilla along with various meats, lettuces, tomatoes, onions, guacamoles, etc... so f**k good. tex mex that shit and you turn it up to 11

actually just looked it up. in mexico they basically just put beans and meat in it. presumably rat or something because if they had any money they'd put more than that it in . so just add that to things americans made better. so em, you'll want real american burritos (we haven't got into a discussion about how awful british food is yet in this thread have we)

when i was in denver i went to Sammy's no. 3 and had a kitchen sink burrito which was a tortilla with homefries (potatoes -- so , there's a starch in your starch), scrambled eggs, bacon, ham, sausage, gyro meat, onion, peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, cheddar and smothered in pork green chili sauce. it was probably the biggest thing i ever had presented me as a meal in my entire life. it was $10 AND AMAZING

See potatoes are too far for me. Rice, fine. Potatoes...meh. We have a pretty great taco shop near here that has a couple of potato burrito things. I'll stick with chili relleno or carnitas, tyvm. They had this other one called the inferno or something...super hot rice with nice big prawns throughout. Amazing.

and what of interracial dating????

just eat it it's good. i don't even understand this. ive never heard of this particular complaint before (starch in my starch oh noes). i suppose after thanksgiving you don't take everything and put it into a ginormous sandwich do you? of course not. so messed up.

there are mexican places everywhere here, likely because texmex is amazing. there are national chains of restaurants that specialize in burritos with a bed of rice in them (chipotle, qdoba)

British Mexican food is curry.

Texmex>Curry

[John Galt]

ya curry is alright but jesus texmex blows it out of the water

also, the rice in the burrito is really good if it's a cilantro-lime rice (like they have at chipotle). to be honest, i feel it makes the burrito, so if i make them at home i make cilantro-lime rice to go in them. the tortilla is for form. it's thin and barely a starch at all

Ya, I've done the post-thanksgiving everything sandwhich as well. Usually best to eat it with a knife and fork when all is said and done.
