Wat…? As a Californian and eater of many burritos I can say that ain’t normal. Yeah you can put anything you want in a burrito and potatoes are often in vegetarian burritos, but french fries sounds like something that was a one off menu item in a CalMex fusion restaurant.

Where I live you can get a "London Pizza", which is chips and garlic sauce on a cheese pizza.
Apologies to any Italian reading this toot.
@PetraPhoenix @GayDeceiver That sounds disgusting but also amazing

@GayDeceiver Breakfast burritos usually have potatoes in them, are fries so different?

@GayDeceiver potato tacos are really good. not french fries, but same ballpark.

@BillSaysThis @GayDeceiver OMG, yes. Proper breakfast burritos have hashbrowns in it. Need that crunchiness to offset the squishy eggs and salsa. Plus you can cook them on the same skillet.

In Texas Mexican (and Tex-Mex), fried potatoes in tacos and burritos is perfectly normal.

@GayDeceiver If they maintained a crisp it'd be delicious. Potato hash in a burrito is always good the potato has many delivery options.
I always like some chips in a sandwich.

@pwloftus PA?

@pwloftus ahh, in Pittsburgh we had Primanti’s. “Famed” for fries in the sammich.

@godofbiscuits Did they stay crispy?

@godofbiscuits Did they stay crispy?
@pwloftus well, the fries aren’t like McD’s fries. I’d say they did keep up the texture, tho (a few loose fries were always there when you got the sammich so you could compare). And that with vinegar-based Cole slaw also on it.

Interesting. Of course, the potential range for burritos is infinite.

Wait, is this a prank? Am I being pranked?

They kind of do pull it off.
As a Californian, I initially thought who the hell thinks we eat this? We definitely don't. I only learned about it from people writing about it.
That said, a Sandwiche Americain is something we found in France that no American ever came up with. It's a whole baguette stuffed with steak and fries, maybe some mayo sauce. Okay, these foods compliment each other and when you're traveling, sometimes an absurd amount of food is just what you need.
@EricBono @pwloftus @GayDeceiver what? American's totally had that idea. it's a known thing in Pittsburgh. Maybe not a whole baguette though.

@GayDeceiver it's quite good. I also did some pearl-clutching when I first heard of it, but I was converted pretty quick.

"Tacos trompos al pastor hawaiano": which have a disputed origin but definitely somewhere in Mexico. I refuse to get involved in someone else's internal cultural disputes; but I learned to cook them from a chef from Monterrey.
Pork done with a pineapple juice, vinegar, and chili marinade; cooked on a Middle Eastern style vertical rotisserie, then served with sweet-salty ham and grilled pineapple chunks.
