When I was a kid my favorite food in the world was a bean and cheese burrito. Mom used to keep them stocked in the freezer 24-7, 365 days a year just to feed my addiction. She also said almost daily, “you eat so many burritos, you’re going to turn into a burrito” which, as a 9 year old, I thought would be just about the coolest thing in the world. Sadly, many years later, I’m still human. Thankfully, I eventually learned how to make my own non-frozen-store-bought burritos (cause that’s rocket science, obviously….) and now I’m obsessed with a new variety of burrito —> The super cheesy smothered colorado chile variety. Mmmmmm. The sauce for these burritos is so insanely good, I literally couldn’t stop eating it straight from the pan. Frankly it’s a miracle that any of the stuff actually made it into the tortillas. But it did! And I am so glad that it did because the whole cheesy saucy smothered part takes it all to the next level of YUM.
