It's funny how this seemingly simple food description sounds totally foreign to me. Like I've never seen a burrito, I imagine it's similar to a tortilla but maybe thicker. If I had two children and one of them was chubby, I'd definitely name it burrito and the other one tortilla. Churro sounds like a baked olive filled with a piece of paprika but probably only because I want it to. As for chicken mole, http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/1433/chickenmole.jpg
Haha. I could never eat a chicken that was so fashionably eighties.
Prepare yourself as life is about to get slightly less magical:
Burrito: (Basically anything/everything wrapped in a tortilla such as to produce a chubby looking mass you want to poke with a stick:)
Tortilla: Thin soft bread shaped into disks, traditionally made with corn flour, now often made with wheat. Baked, and I think possibly steamed in some cases? These come in different flavors like tomato, spinach etc. That don't really do anything except make them a startlingly intense color that makes white people feel cool.
Chicken Mole: Mole is in reference to the sauce. Basically a sweetened chilli sauce, sometimes accented with chocolate and ground nuts. It kind of reminds me of my favorite Persian dish, so I'm a sucker for it.
Black Beans: Specifies the type of beans, as opposed to Pinto, or Re-fried (cooked, mashed pinto)
"Super": In America, (at least in California) making any item at a Mexican restaurant "Super" basically means that they add cheese, guacamole/avocado, and sour cream. They could just as easily replace "Super" with "Fatty-town".
Cut in half: Means "Cut this burrito in half or I will die of fatty-poisoning if I try to eat it in a single sitting."
Churro: Is basically a fried, long, wiggly-edged donut.
Never thought someone like you would be capable of eating a donut. I assume it was possible only because they call it churro. Thanks for the lesson on American(Mexican) cuisine though.
