Burrito or Quesadilla? How to Pick Your Lunch

Some lunches are eaten between errands. Others are a chance to sit down and take a proper break. If you’re deciding between a burrito and a quesadilla at Burrito Gringo, think about how you’ll eat it and what kind of bite you’re after.

Pick a burrito if you want lunch in one wrap

A burrito brings cilantro-lime rice, beans, sautéed peppers and onions, and your choice of meat or veggies together in a tortilla. Salsa, cheese and sour cream add different textures to the filling. The rice and beans give it a hearty bite, and the wrap is handy when you’re taking lunch back to work and want something you can hold in one hand.

Pick a quesadilla if you’re craving toasted tortilla and melted cheese

Our quesadilla is grilled in a flour or whole wheat tortilla with cheddar-jack, sautéed peppers and onions, and your choice of protein or vegetables. You get a toasted outside and melted cheese inside. It’s a good pick if you like to eat a wedge at a time or share a few bites with someone. If the toasted texture is what you’re after, try to eat it soon after pickup.

Still deciding?

Ask yourself which bite sounds better today: rice, beans and salsa together, or melted cheese in a grilled tortilla? Both can work for a quick Ottawa lunch. Check the Burrito Gringo menu to compare them, then order online and choose your pickup location to see what’s available.
