The Faithfulness of the Burrito

|

I had my first burrito during my senior year of high school. As I look back on all the burritos I've had since then, I can speak admirably towards the faithfulness of the burrito. There has never been a burrito in my life that has left me hungry.

My present reflections on the burrito are the result of a new burrito place (Tomate) to which I was introduced this past Tuesday. To be quite honest, my experience with burritos has not extended far beyond the burritos available at Chipotle (although I had a delightful burrito during Bible study recently). Consequently, going to Tomate was an adventure for me.

The burrito felt authentic, and though the variety of ingredients were small, the burrito lacked nothing. Every byte was warm and comforting, and though I was unfamiliar with Tomate, the burrito greeted me as though we were long lost friends. As with burritos I've eaten in the past, this burrito left me feeling full.

Today I went to Tomate again and had another burrito. There was something disheartening about today's burrito. As I gripped the burrito in my hands, it felt like it was less than full capacity. I started to worry: would this be the first burrito that leaves me still hungry afterwards? I chose to defer my response to this question until later. I continued eating this burrito, enjoying each byte as it happened.

When I got to the last 15% of the burrito, I realized that I was starting to feel full. The burrito that I started to doubt did not let me down in the end, and I am grateful to the burrito for remaining faithful. All of this being said, I hope that all of you can know and experience the faithfulness of the burrito. May your burritos always be full. Tomate (which is pronounced tomat-aaayyyy), you get an A+.
