EAT This Week: Verde Mexican Rotisserie’s Verde Burrito
To try and decide each week where and what to eat around the basin can be a challenge – there are so many amazing choices. In this feature we’ll dive into dishes that will surely satisfy those hunger pangs and leave you wondering where to go next.
There are just some ingredients that make you think of a certain time of year. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, one of those ingredients that comes to mind are sweet potatoes – and they just so happen to be featured prominently in this week’s feature.
As one of the driving forces in this burrito, the sweet potatoes are roasted before getting rolled up in a massive flour tortilla along with black beans, jack cheese, pico de gallo, sour cream, and avocado. It’s served with your choice of salsa, but my recommendation is to go with their green salsa, which also happens to be their most popular. Just make sure you get enough because when you douse each bite in a treat like this, it goes fast.
One of the things that you immediately notice about this burrito is its size – it’s huge. And if you’re looking for an option that not only packs the flavor, but doesn’t include meat, then this is a great place to start.
Another thing that stands out about this burrito are the comforting flavors. It’s like they’re sitting there with their arms wide open waiting for you to bring it in for a huge squeeze. The sweet potatoes bring a sense of warmth, and while the whole burrito eats hearty, it still feels incredibly light. The black beans offer up a nice change of pace and add a little texture to balance out the creaminess from the sour cream and guac.
You definitely won’t leave hungry after finishing this – unless you have two stomachs or a couple of hollow legs. And if you’re one who isn’t the biggest fan of Thanksgiving fare, bring one of these along to the party. It might prevent you from talking turkey with Uncle Bob, but at least you know it’ll be tasty.
