I don't even know why people care about authenticity in burritos. It's just a goddamn flour tortilla wrapping a bunch of crap.
And regarding the point about feeling like a lardass for eating "authentic burritos" because they don't contain vegetables...it's because they aren't supposed to be a full meal by themselves, unlike Chipotle burritos that are too much food for most non-lardasses.

Burritos are more of a Tex-Mex creation. Mexicans in the north are the ones who eat flour tortilla, and it's honestly a little different, but it happens not so often as corn tortilla is the more widely used staple with a few varieties.

White toast is to Americans as yellow corn tortilla is to Mexicans. Mexicans eating flour tortilla would be the equivalent of Americans eating English muffins in place of toast. It does happen, but is not very common except for the northern border towns.

I'm Mexican and studying in the United States and the Mexican food here is more of a peasant style-fresco thing. A taco to a middle-class Mexican would be like an American eating those gas station hot dogs. If hungry you don't give a fuck and you'll eat it, but it's more of a desperation tactic to fill your stomach. Mama would get upset with you eating it. Street food really...

Some restaurants in Mexico for the middle class, something on pay with The Outback or Applebee's will call a burrito "Fajitas Americana". A few small flour tortillas loaded with seasoned meat, fajita veggies, some rice, beans, salsa, lettuce, and sour cream.

>> No.4439065

>>4439042
Not very common though. I've seen it on the menu a few times.

Chipotle is really cleaned up Mexican street food. It's impressive to be honest how they reworked peasant street food into this healthy, expensive, organic food to a point where it's a national chain where the lines always go out the door. Impressive.

No Mexican would have been able to accomplish this task. We would never be able to see past the street/peasant food taboo that comes with burritos and tacos.

To OP. An authentic burrito would never beat a Chipotle's burrito in a million years. Authentic burritos would be some of the sloppiest, quickest, cheapest, and unhealthiest thing you can buy. They're meant for working a corn field from 6AM to 9PM. Your chicano friends lack culture since they don't understand this. I would be embarrased to invite my Americans to eat "authentic" peasant food. Just as any American would be embarrassed to serve kraft dinner with chopped oscar meyer weiners in it for a dinner.

I've seen them even use flour tortillas as some americans would white bread or dinner rolls - dipped in their soft food. I worked construction for a while, and one of my coworker would often come to work with some type of spicy soup, and he'd roll up one of his 3-5 tortillas, dip it in the soup, and munch on it like that. It had never even occurred to me that people might not stuff tortillas.

Mexican here. I actually prefer Chipotle. Honest to god.

A traditional Mexican burrito would be: carne asada, pico de gallo, and guac. Three ingredients. Chipotle introduces so many more flavors and textures that it makes burritos interesting.

That said, I don't think it's correct to call a Chipotle burrito, 'Mexican food'. Call it Mexican inspired or Tex-Mex.

tomato, onions, peppers (typically jalapeno), lime juice. That's just the basic pico.

avocado, lime juice, salt, often other spices.

I don't like pico or guac, but that shit made from scratch sounds awesome for someone that does. If you're just cooking straight beef slices and pre-packaged pico and guac, you deserve for your shit to taste like shit.

Authentic is an idiotic term. Here's why - it's used for people to claim that a 4th generation tex-mex restaurant (a cuisine that dates from the late 18th century) is the same as Taco Bell, which uses reconstituted everything and sauce guns.

Is your taco al pastor (which dates from the 1930s) more authentic than a burrito, which has at least 50 years more history in Juarez?

i seriously SERIOUSLY hope you guys don't do this. It makes everything all soggy; unless you have the palate of the dog you'll know the texture is disgusting.

Lettuce and tomato are good ON the burrito, not IN it. That way it doesn't get soggy. Gives it a crisp leafy texture that contrasts well with the gooey and meaty insides. If I get lettuce and tom as a side to my burrito I always put it on top.

Depends on where you go. Let me describe a few different scenarios.

1. Going to a Tex-Mex restaurant: get something with plenty of meat, cheese and chili. It's different than "traditional", but I like the way Tex-Mex does big, cheesy burritos when I'm hungry.
2. "Authentic" Mexican: If I'm in a place that's run by Mexicans and they're not fucking around, I like to get Lengua (tongue) tacos with just cilantro, onions, sour cream and salsa verde. Squeeze lime wedge and add dashes of salt if needed. Delicious.
3. Not-so-good Americanized Mexican: I just get a torta or something simple that can't be fucked up. I usually avoid these places (they tend to be chains). Salsa always tastes like watered-down tomato soup. Chipotle doesn't really count - it's more of a "build-a-meal-in-a-burrito" joint. Not Mexican food at all, but still good when you're hungry.
4. Homemade Mexican: I love to make pulled-chicken. First I boil the chicken breasts, cool, tear by hand, and then marinate them in a blend of spices with tomato sauce, chopped tomatoes, chiles, and so forth. Fry up some corn tortillas and add some homemade guac to the taco. My friends love it.
5. Taco Bell: When I've had too many drinks and want to grab a Crunchwrap Supreme at 1 am before passing out. It's a frisbee stuffed with edible food. Tastes alright when you're drunk and wash it down with sugary soda.

You guys can argue all you want, but there's a great variety of "Mexican" food out there, and there's definitely a range in terms of quality for each of those categories. I've had plenty of bad food at "authentic" Mexican restaurants and I've been surprised by some decent food at the Americanized chains.

Pic related. I had a bunch of ingredients for tacos one night, but ran out of meat. I cooked up some leftover Italian sausage and masked it with some chipotle sauce. Tasted pretty fucking good with some homemade guac and sour cream. Crucify me.

Almost in 100% agreement with you. There are many different types of Mexican food, some of them are barely even Mexican. Don't care, I like almost any sort of Mexican food I've tasted. Everything from the homemade tamales that my immigrant neighbors make all the way to a plate of crunchy tacos with lettuce, tomato and cheddar. Fuck, its all good.

My personal favorite is beef fajitas. Corn or flour tortillas, I'll take either. They cost more than the usual suspects on the menu so I save it for special occasions. Fajitas are sort of like the steak of Mexican food. So good though, possibly my favorite dish.

I'm not even going to claim I'm not racist, but I legitimately aren't trying to be racially insensitive when I ask this:

What's with Mexicans always having an entire litter of kids? A local pizza joint has a mostly Mexican staff, and they're all related, all fifteen of them. The main cook is the father, the rest are his sons. My brother was the only white person besides the owner working there.

Their family comes in to eat and they take up the entirety of the restaurant, what with his wife, his wife's siblings (six, each with six kids of their own), his three brothers and his sister, their seven kids...

Is it all because Mexicans are generally Catholic and they're anti-condom? Or is there something else to it?

That and they're probably right from Mexico, that is, they're first generation. Poor education about sex, poor living conditions, poverty, Catholic faith, all of it combine to what you see.

You basically won't see anything like that at all in second generation families unless they're extreeeemely poor, in which case, it's pretty just a case of poor people and not Mexicans

yes, I do. You are fucking lazy. you think a food is ridiculous because you have to put time and effort into eating it instead of just shoving it in your face like a feed back with your hands.

You may as well bitch at someone for making anything that can't be eaten with your hands out of bread.

You're not that poor, bro. If you can afford to buy in bulk, you're not poor. Poor is living paycheck to paycheck with less than 5 bucks to make it to the next one. You can't afford to buy that good deal on chicken thighs, because you'd have nothing but 3 pounds of chicken, so instead you buy the packaged shit. Not because its a better deal, but because it makes more sense.

Depends on how large the burrito is! You can certainly make a smaller one that is lower cal.

Also, there's nothing unhealthy about calories unless you choose to eat too many. Even a jumbo 1500 cal burrito would be fine as long as you didn't overeat for the rest of the day.

>> No.4448212

Citizenship and Residence

To be eligible for welfare, an applicant must be a U.S. citizen or lawfully admitted to the country for permanent residence. Some exceptions might apply to citizenship rules. When an individual applies for welfare, his or her citizenship status is reviewed, along with the status of each household member, before assistance is granted. Each state also has its own residency conditions that must be met. For example, to be eligible in Pennsylvania, an individual must be living in that state and have the intention of remaining there.

Social Security Number

A Social Security number is needed for someone to receive welfare benefits, even for a child. If someone in an applying household does not have a Social Security number, he or she must apply for one, provide proof of applying for a number and give the number to his or her caseworker after it is issued. The caseworker might also need to have a copy of the person’s Social Security card.
