Breakfast pork wet burrito

This is perfection right here ↑. The place at the edge of downtown right where it gets ugly with pawn shops and dodgy businesses locked up tight at 20th and Larimer, was situated a very popular hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant, muy authentico, and around the corner on 20th a Japanese restaurant that was like walking into a restaurant in Tokyo. This is the area of Sakura Square next to the Buddhist temple. 

The Mexican restaurant, Manuel's, was packed with downtown lunch patrons in the know. You had to get there early or wait through your lunch hour. I begged my coworkers to go to discover the joy of the real deal for themselves, as if traveling to Mexico, and finally they did go when I won the chance to force everyone to go to my choice of place. Finally they relented from their staunch objection to venturing to the edge of town and acquiesce so they all clamored along.

Bitch, bitch, bitch the whole time remarking on the wet burrito that I had no idea how to pick them. They who do not speak any Spanish nor have any Mexican friends to show them anything, nor did they travel to Mexico,  presumed to tell me that I don't know good burrito from bad. Worthy restaurant from unworthy. And nag, nag nag, I never did hear the end of it. Their sole preference is sanitized Americanized Tex-Mex. The wet flour tortilla put them all off and prevented them from enjoying the combination of cheese melted into the tortilla that becomes soggy with liquid pork chili. That and the greasy dust on the cooling units. They never let me choose the restaurant for lunch again citing this example and they never did let the fact that the place was entirely packed crammed full with white people in suits that do no not share their incredibly pinched opinion dissuade them one tiny bit, they're all just that inelastic. The combination of loose wet pork chili with melted cheese on soaked tortilla is amazing. You get hooked on it. They never gave it a chance.

This chili was made more liquid with water. It's strong enough to be diluted. Then cornstarch for a glaze and so it is not so liquid as water. I could have used more.
