In a culinary world filled with endless possibilities, the burrito stands out as a beacon of gustatory glory, inviting everyone into its embrace.
For those who have yet to experience it, one might describe a burrito as a hand-held portal to digestive nirvana, opening up a universe of flavors and satisfaction.
The late, great comedian Mitch Hedberg once humorously described the burrito as a “sleeping bag for ground beef,” a fitting tribute to its comforting nature.
However, the burrito has blossomed into far more than that simplistic image, evolving with a variety of ingredients and styles that reflect the creativity of chefs everywhere.
Among the most ambitious of these creations is the Big A. Mecca Burrito, a behemoth weighing nearly ten pounds, that could be the centerpiece of any culinary adventure.
Stuffed with longaniza, carne asada, and a mix of toppings like french fries, guacamole, sour cream, cheese, and chipotle sauce, and wrapped in three 16-inch tortillas, this burrito takes indulgence to new heights.
And just when you think it couldn’t get any better, it’s layered in bacon.
Priced at $93.99, this monstrous creation can be found at Sayulitas on Las Vegas Blvd. South.
