My Badass Burrito!

Hey y'all.
 
I love tacos and tortillas in general and some would argue that the burrito is nothing more than a bigass taco.
 
I pity the fool that believes that.
 
The way I see it the good people of Mexico invented it and gave it to us. Muchas gracias.
 
Today the burrito as we know it has evolved from its humble beginnings.

To call it a taco is just wrong. Its bigger. Its badder. It has a shit-ton(official SoFlo measurement) of stuff in it. Taco's are small and dainty. Ever seen a taco the size of a 3 year old toddler's leg?
 
And what does that mean for chile heads and THP?
 
Simple. 
 
You can put a whole lot more of hot stuff in it or serve it up "wet" and on top.
 
And who doesn't like a bigass burrito? NOBODY.
 
Especially peep's that  :high: and you know who you are.
 
So bring it y'all.
 
I want to see a BIGASS BURRITO!
 
Make it  the size of the Alaskan Pipeline.
 
Load the hell out of it.
 
And bring the spiceenescxt!
 
 
Here's what I got.
 
MY BIGASS BURRITO!
 
I got it goin' on with red potato's in olive oil with garlic, onion, and fresno chile.
 

Then I got some other sheeit ready.
 

Then I whooped out a bigass sun dried tomato tortilla and started loading it up. Don't even think of calling it a wrap!
 

 
Get some scheeze on there.
 

 
Now roll that 'thang up. It should be the size of a house cat or a baby's torso.
 

 
You wanna' know what I did next?
 
I microwaved it!
 
Then I cut it in half and mouth fisted it!
 

 
I was full after eating just half of it.
 
But the bigass burrito was ALIVE and talking dirty to me.
 
I HAD to eat it all.
 
Afterwards, I drank another hosky and went to bed.
 
I farted fairy dust and moonbeams in my sleep all night long.
 
 
Now y'all.
 
BRING YOUR BIGASS BURRITO!
 
 
UPDATE.
 
Due to the popularity of the thread I am changing the thread title to My Badass Burrito.
 
Simply to include ALL burrito's, not just BIGASS.

Shredded Chicken Burrito:
 
Start by rehydrating some smoked Lemon Drops (courtesy of Chile Monsta) - these are absolutely outstanding!

Really been enjoying your posts these past couple months ...

Our process for chicken for Mexican is boiling before shredding, and I don't think it's a great route ...

I think I'll try your way next time, for sure, because we have to completely build back the flavor after boiling ...

Any additional details about the spice mixture and/or braising would be interesting to me, certainly ...

Looks great, really ...
 
Rubbed some salt, pepper, and chile powder (I used chipotle powder) into the chicken breasts.
Cooked over high heat for a couple of minutes per side.
Removed from pan.
Added about 1 cup chicken stock, 8 rehydrated smoked lemon drops (chopped), more chipotle powder, fire roasted tomatoes, cumin, Mexican oregano, coriander and brought to boil.
Added chicken breast back in, covered, and braised for about 30 minutes.
Removed chicken and let cool for about 15 minutes while reducing sauce.
Shredded chicken and added back to reduced sauce.
Added garnishes (black beans, Mexican rice, and crumbled Mexican cheese), rolled them up, and served.
