Only in New Mexico - Huge burrito mistaken for Bomb

CLOVIS, N.M. - A call about a possible weapon at a middle school prompted police to put armed officers on rooftops, close nearby streets and lock down the school. All over a giant burrito.

Someone called authorities Thursday after seeing a boy carrying something long and wrapped into Marshall Junior High.

The drama ended two hours later when the suspicious item was identified as a 30-inch burrito filled with steak, guacamole, lettuce, salsa and jalapeños and wrapped inside tin foil and a white T-shirt.

The burrito was part of Morrissey's extra-credit assignment to create commercial advertising for a product.

"We had to make up a product and it could have been anything. I made up a restaurant that specialized in oddly large burritos," Morrissey said.

:rofl:

..at least, once they are consumed.

... thanks to the free advertising. This fellow needs to go into business upon graduation. Think of what the menu would look like:

"The AK-47"

"The Green Napalm"

"The MOAB (Mother Of All Burritos)"

"The Shock and Awe (Steak and Adobo)"



:P

I think giant burritos are a good idea. Like those giant subs.

And you could have a burrito restaurant that's like subway.

yum!

And they are amazing!

We just got this new place called Taco Tote http://www.tacotote.com/

They cook your meat and heat up tortillas but you put all the toppings on at this salad bar type thing...Really good stuff!

I haven't been able to enjoy a Moe's burrito for a while, because I moved last year and I guess the franchise just hasn't grown into this area. But I'm going back home to visit some old friends, so hopefully I'll get a chance soon.

Their menu is great; they have entrees like the Homewrecker (my personal fave; the mother of all burritoes), the Ugly Naked Guy (a vegetarian taco), and Puff the Magic Dragon (a taco for kids).
