From my friend Diana, "Over the years my mom has told me stories of these epic shredded beef burritos she used to stop and get from a hole in the wall Mexican restaurant, when walking home from school in Los Angeles, back in the 60s. You could see her go back to that time and place every time she talked about how tender and flavorful the meat was.
Her stories inspired me to try to recreate something similar to what she dreams of.
Before going gluten-free I used to make these burritos quite often with regular burrito tortillas and a slow-cooked rump roast.
Personally, this is one of my all-time favorite foods. I feel like a giddy schoolgirl every time I have them.
