The burrito is designed to be compact, nutritious, delicious and deliver a package of flavor. During the grape harvest the number of our farm workers swells from 2 (Ignacio, our vineyard manager has lived with us for 17 years) to about 20 men who furiously pick the grapes to fill 1/2 ton bins (they get paid by the ton). It takes a lot of calories to fuel these hard workers , so their food of choice is often a Grande Burrito...which weighs in at about 1 1/2 pounds. They are filled with rice, beans, guacamole and meat; usually carnitas, tripe, lingua, beef, chicken or pasteur and salsa or hot sauce. This recipe is an alternative version that is designed for a person who doesn't burn 600 calories an hour! ****When we pick for ourselves we use small French picking bins and we pay by the hour...not by the ton.
