Rice and beans is very Mexican, actually a staple. All Hispanics eat
rice and beans. I remember buying frozen burritos at LA
stupidmarkets, there were several varieties, rice and beans was but
one, mashed potatoes and refried beans another. I didn't much care
for burritos, they're the Mexican version of a k'nish.
