Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
Frozen burritos arrive in the freezer two ways -- either they come in "bulk" in a giant box that takes up two-thirds of your freezer space, or they come individually wrapped. At my grocery store, Tina's Burritos were on that ever-so-deceptive "club card special" for three-for-99-cents. That makes each burrito a very recession-friendly thirty-three cents, but don't think I fell for the advertising double-speak! I only bought one!
The wrapper made a very proud proclamation of "100% CHEDDAR CHEESE." There were no such matching declarations of "100% BEANS" and "100% TORTILLAS." I was worried. I was also slightly worried when the instructions indicated that a person could "cook" the burrito in the microwave oven OR the regular oven. Who would cook a single frozen burrito in the regular oven?! No one, which is why the instructions give you regular oven cooking times for those occasions in which you might be entertaining a dozen dinner guests and will unwrap each individually packaged burrito to heat in the regular oven.
The burrito was not bad for a bean and cheese burrito, but then again, I also doused the entire thing in about ¾ cup of jarred salsa. It didn't feel right to use anything but jarred salsa, by the way. Kind of like putting lipstick on a pork carnitas burrito don't you think?
