Day Two Hundred Twenty-Six

I'm reposting this recipe for the simple fact that I haven't eaten inside a restaurant in over 8 months and I bet it will be AT LEAST another 8 more. I can't honestly say that I miss Mad Mex, but maybe I miss real Mexican? Yes, I definitely miss real Mexican.

ANYWAY, I was thinking about the fact that sitting indoors without a mask and breathing in the same air as other people sounds terrible when I remembered that I for reals love the vegetarian Gobblerito. I can't get it in a restaurant anyway, so let's go. Let's start making Thanksgiving food now.

GOBBLERITO! GOBBLERITO! GOBBLERITO!

For a month now, I swear that one word has taken over my social media feeds. Here, there, EVERYWHERE, people were talking about going to Mad Mex for a Gobblerito.

You guys, I was starting to feel left out. So I made my own vegetarian version. TAKE THAT, OMNIVORES.

If you aren't from Pittsburgh, you're probably totally lost at this point. Let me back up and explain. Mad Mex is a (not really) Mexican restaurant chain around these parts. Every year they celebrate Thanksgiving by bastardizing a burrito with all of the stuff you usually find stuffed into bowls the day after Thanksgiving. It's the most genius use for leftovers ever.

I didn't wait for leftovers.

You don't have to make it vegetarian. This is me not caring about whether you partake in the animal eating or not, but rather just saying GO MAKE A GOBBLERITO.

They're totally worth the hype.

Gobblerito

Flour tortillas
Turkey or Tofurkey
Stuffing
Mashed potatoes
Gravy
Cranberry Sauce

This is not much of a recipe, but much more of a concoction. A GENIUS concoction, that is.

1. Start by heating up your tortilla.

2. Throw a handful of turkey or tofurkey pieces on top.

3. Stuffing time.

4. Mashed potatoes and gravy, please. (Mad Mex throws some corn in there, too. Personally, I don't think the corn adds anything. GIVE ME MORE MASHED POTATOES, PLEASE.)

5. If you're brave, throw the cranberries in the burrito. If you're not, start folding that burrito and leave the cranberries for the side. Fold up the bottom.

6. Fold over one side and tuck it in all snug next to the good stuff.

7. Fold the other side over.

8. Throw some other food on your plate to make it look like you are fancy and stuff.

9. Wonder why the pilgrims didn't do it that way in the first place. The Gobblerito is a mighty efficient invention that makes Thanksgiving a hands on event.

As it should be.
