Finally has a Wikipedia entry.
When Big Ray ordered this at the Don Diego Taqueria way back when, I was rather disgusted by his choice of caloric intake. Fortunately, he christened it the Guadalajaran Enema and all was right in the world again.
Also, in perusing the online menu of my high school era supplier of lard pill burritos, Roberto's, I learned that they now offer a "lite" burrito, consisting of beans, rice, salsa, and guacamole. I wonder if they still use a ton of lard in everything--the tortillas, the beans, smeared on the grill. When in SD, you should hit one of the 1,200,000 SD County locations of Roberto's.

I've only had two of these in my life -- one horse shoe (beef) and one pony shoe (ham). The pony shoe had substandard cheese sauce.
These are found in family restaurants in small towns in southern (and central) Illinois, so should be available in similar areas that supported the CSA.
