Burrito on the road

Hatch, New Mexico,, May 30, 2014

WELL, NOT LITERALLY, of course; we didn't fine a burrito on the pavement. We found it in this cluttered, busy, amusing place we'd heard about back in Bisbee, and it turned out to be right on the side of our road at just the right time of day.

 I asked what would be the least messy choice for eating behind the steering wheel while traveling 75 miles an hour up the highway toward Santa Fe. The countergirl paused, considered, and suggested the smoked pulled-pork burrito, served up in a generous flour tortilla with chile verde. 

Yes. We're back in New Mexico. Hatch is famous for its chiles, the best in the state, state the Hatchians. A tall claim: but this was a delicious burrito.

Water, of course: we're driving.
