When a burrito suizo from @donjuanscantina is calling your name, you should always answer. Shredded chicken (or ground beef, skirt steak or chorizo), rice and refried beans covered in suiza sauce, melted chihuahua cheese, sour cream and guacamole. In other words... perfection. Pairs rather well with a frozen strawberry margarita, Modelo or mojito.
