"Arriba" Brand Microwave Burritos

Agg · 5th September 2001, 10:51 AM

Recommended. Chicken & Cheese is ok (little cubes of chicken is kinda weird) but the Bean & Cheese ones are better. 3 mins in the microwave and you're done. These form a staple part of my diet, I generally buy all the Bean & Cheese ones in my local supermarket every couple of weeks. My girlfriend used to take the piss out of me for eating them all the time until she had one - now she buys them in bulk when we run out too.

The weird thing is, I used to eat these AGES ago, like 1993, but then my local shop stopped carrying them. Now, 8 years and 5 moves-of-house later I find them again. That's part of the reason why I buy the entire stock when I see them, so that the purchasing dude at my supermarket keeps getting them in.

No-one ever buys them out my way

Just tried these for the first time, i had the mexican Beef and Cheese... Damn, great stuff. They were tucked away in the corner of the freezer section of the local supermarket! Australian Made/owned too

I haven't eaten them in a while, they're too expensive now. For the $5 they cost or whatever it is you can get a whole box meal.

i'd give them a try

but making burritos is quite easy

you can even cook up the meat, freeze it, and then all you need to do is defrost, nuke the tortillas and cut a bit of salad and you're done!

Sounds interesting, I'll have to give them a try also, if I can find them.

Sound a bit similar to the packet yiros I buy from Coles......it's a meal it itself if you add a little salad to them, always buy plenty when I see them. Bit pricey at $4.76 though.
