Big Veggie Burrito

This big veggie burrito is a homemade version of Portland's famous Honkin' Huge Burrito, from Portland's oldest food cart. Incredibly flavorful, just like the burritos we miss so much.

Honkin' Huge Burrito

My first post college job was in accounting at Saks Fifth Avenue in downtown Portland. For lunch, I'd often walk up one block (from Fifth Avenue, one of two stores in the country actually on Fifth) to our Pioneer Courthouse Square, to Portland's oldest food cart, Honkin' Huge Burrito.

I ordered the largest burrito (the Honkin'), ate half for lunch, and enjoyed the other half for dinner. For like, four bucks.

Even if it were ten bucks, I would have been and would still be faithful to Honkin' Huge Burrito - they are among the most delicious burritos I have ever had in my life. I have had many burritos.

First, they have these tomatoes.

Kind of like a stewed tomato? Saucy, anyway, and sweet.

So. I decided I'd make my own sweet tomatoes.

I used these two ingredients.

That's it.

Nailed it.

The rest, as you can see from the deliciously animated assembly up there, is fairly basic burrito building blocks. But something about them, with these sweet tomatoes, is just perfect in a way I cannot really describe.

Get yourself some Jufran Banana Ketchup. That stuff is out of this world incredible. I easily find it at one of our many Asian grocers, and it is online.

 

...and this makes a good big veggie burrito bowl too...
