Although I’m not, my mom was a vegetarian who raised little ‘ol me in California. As such I have a warm nostalgic feeling for a nice, simple, but otherwise gigantic bean and cheese burrito. Taco Bravo from Campbell/Santa Clara CA is my gold standard reference point (probably should caveat early 1990’s and before)

Basically refied beans and cheddar cheese preferred (at least- not mozzarella) in copious, finely shredded amounts with a decent hot sauce dropped there on a large flour tortilla.

Seems simple, and can get anywhere- but does anyone have favorites? I haven’t found a good go too yet.

Bonus for eastern Saint Paul areas.
