We have some places here that put beans and rice in the burritos. I like
beans in them. Rice? Not so much. Thankfully the sit down restaurants who
do this put only a small amount of rice and they are served "wet". I'm okay
with that. But the other place is a taqueria. They serve huge burritos to
be eaten out of hand and they are filled with mostly rice. Not for me.
