Grab-and-go burritos
I’ve just been introduced to Phil’s Fresh Foods burritos, and I have to say I’m a fan. Apparently they’ve been available regionally (Colorado, Texas, and environs) for seven years, but I’d not encountered them; now they’re getting national distribution in the frozen foods section of stores like Whole Foods and City Market. I’ve chewed through lots of store-bought, doughy burritos in my time, and these are definitely a cut above; you get more filling than tortilla. Real-food ingredients (including organic fillings and hormone-free meat), handmade, inexpensive ($2.99; sometimes on sale 2 for $4!), portable, quick to heat and eat, and delicious; it all adds up to a winner. Try one of the nine flavors; I love the spicy Green Chile Breakfast burrito, as well as the vegan Veggie Fajita.

I have been looking for a good breakfast burrito to sell at my coffee shop. This burrito is definately not it. It’s as if the ingredients were run through a blender. So disappointed!

Wow, I’m sorry to hear that! I still love these; in fact, I just had a craving for one yesterday, but I didn’t have time to get to the store to pick one up. I don’t recall the filling being all that mushy (that is, no mushier than beans and rice usually are); I wonder if they’ve changed their approach since I first wrote that blog last year?? Anyway, sorry you were disappointed, and I’d love to hear about whatever burrito you discover that works well for your shop.
