...and this one comes straight out of New Mexico from a diner alongside the highway!
We were driving back to Colorado from Texas one year and decided to stop for lunch at a diner sitting out in the middle of nowhere. The waitress talked us into a couple of burritos (the children had already ordered hamburgers and grilled cheese sandwiches), and then asked us if we wanted red or green chile "smothering" our burritos.
We ordered one of each.
Javier got the green one, which he liked, and I got the red one, which I adored. It was a delicious, thick red sauce full of ground beef and served over a bean burrito. The whole mess was then covered in lettuce, tomatoes, guacamole, and grated cheese. I had decided to pass on the sour cream as it might have too many calories - ha!
Javier quickly lost interest in his green burrito and had to have a taste of mine. He finally talked me out of the whole red burrito and I ended up with the green one. It was also good, but not quite as exciting as the red one had been.
We still make both on different occasions, and neither one is better. They're both excellent!
