Mild Salsa
Friday, November 19th, 2010I had Ethiopian food today in Greenwood, great place called Lucy’s– a giant platter of injera, my stewed lamb– !!
There is a special place in my gut’s heart, though, for the producers of cheap and great food: taco trucks.
Cue your drool glands.
The burrito is much better thought out than the sandwich. Drippy drippy messy slimy slid-y un-reheat-able and generally difficult (unless you’re eating grilled cheese or cucumber tea sandwiches), they’re a failure of an invention.
The burrito, on the other hand: the flour tortilla (a delicious snack on it’s own, heated or cold) seals the flavor of the delicious rice-cheese-bean-vegetable mix. The guacamole and sour cream just add to the mouthwatering delight of an amazing culinary crusade: all next to the endearing truck itself, where this glorious foil-wrapped happiness was conceived. Who needs Chipotle, where you’re guaranteed to have to engage with the same combination of flavors (whether or not you get chicken, beef, or pork) washed down with Coke.
No. You are too good for Chipotle. Treat yourself right, and have a rancho burrito swilled down with a mango Jarrito– or, if you happen to go wild with hot salsa, some horchata to quell and sooth the pleasurable pain.
