Burrito Vs. Burrito Bowls. Which One Do You Get?

[antidope]

Ok so me and my friends have been having this debate for what seems like 10 days now. We're all semi frequent Chipotle and Qdoba goers, and out of all of us only one of us gets the bowl. I despise the bowl. He swears its better but I cant see how. 

You're really sitting there like "HEY, I'm going to eat a burrito, but I'm going to leave out the one ingredient that actually makes it a burrito and not just a salad". Yes if you get "Burrito Bowls" you are just eating a salad that you wanted to feel like part of the team with. I guess if I just have ham and cheese I'm eating a breadless sandwhich

.

What is the benefit to getting bowls? I've heard people say its the much healthier option because of the tortilla but it cant be that much a difference. If you're going to say it doesn't fall apart thats not a good reason either, theres always spoons and forks in there and then you just use it. 

Thoughts?

Tortilla son, they can miss me with that bowl business
burrito in a bowl, the nerve...

I think it's more calories with the tortilla ?

 

[retrospect90]

I always get the Burrito. Its more filling to me, and I like to get the most for my money since its already expensive anyway.

I'm all about the bowl. The tortilla has a lot of carbs and saturated fat that I like to avoid. Plus when you dump the tortilla you can get more of the good stuff (beans, meat, veggies). I highly suggest dumping the tortilla.

Sayin' tho...you mean you're going to take away a key ingredient in a dish, then charge me full price for it? First place around here to start offereing cheesesteak bowls or some similar stupid %!$%, I'm organizing a boycott. !#+$ that caloric nonsense too, if you're watching your figure maybe you shouldn't patronize an establishment with meals the size and weight of a newborn. Gimme my burrito, dammit...cheese AND sour cream.

bowl life shorty

 

[witnessmycalm21]

I ALWAYS Rock with the Burrito

But the Calories is astounding with it...

I have to try the Bowl

 

[servechilled81]

I'm ashamed of all of yous
"burrito" in a bowl should be called something else
it's an abomination

 

[wavy and goliath]

I don't do the bowl.
Why is it even called a burrito bowl in the first place

QFT! I can make a bowl at home with some rice, sour cream beans and lettuce if i want for cheaper than that.

I don't eat Mexican food often, but when I do, I get a chicken burrito 

 

[mister916]

Bowl most of the time. Burrito's occasionally.

 

[thehealthinspector]

burrito... bring on the extra calories

biting into that thing makes me feel like a savage

LOL. You get more food and nutrition from a burrito bowl. I ask for extra rice and beans in my bowl. They can only fit so much in a tortilla. I've seen them make burritos and the scoops are much less than what I get in my bowl, plus I ask for more rice and beans on top of that. Flour tortillas are garbage (stay away from white carbs). Here is the ingredients for Chipotle's flour tortilla and they contain trans-fats:

Enriched Bleached Wheat Flour (Wheat Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Water, Vegetable Shortening (Soybean Oil, Hydrogenated Soybean Oil), White Whole Wheat; Contains 2% or less of each of the following: Salt, Leavening (Baking Soda, Sodium Aluminum Sulfate, Corn Starch, Monocalcium Phosphate and/or Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, and Calcium Sulfate), Dough Conditioners (Fumaric Acid, Sodium Metabisulfite), Calcium Propionate and Sorbic Acid (Preservative).

Burrito Bowl

They do give you way more in a bowl. I always have tortillas in my house so I just buy a bowl and take it home. I end up using half the bowl one day and use the rest the next day.
