This beefy burrito grabs its fantastic flavors from the classic Cuban dish, ropa vieja. The name translates to “old clothes,” but we aren't filling a burrito with your skinny jeans from 2005. Instead, spicy jalapeño and seasoned beef combine for a perfect “crop top from 1997” feel, warm and comforting with a hint of heat. Juicy tomatoes and cheese accessorize with aplomb, turning “old clothes” into something hip, hot, and brand new.
