PJ's Organics Organic Burritos

 I liked it.  Personally found it to taste better than an Amy's burrito, but I still like both. 

I suppose if I hadn't eaten Amy's burritos before, I might think these PJ's organic burritos were okay...maybe...but even that's a stretch.  The tortilla is pretty thick and gets awfully tough in the microwave (especially at the bottom where it's folded over a few times).  It also got pretty soggy the longer I microwaved it (but I had to leave it in than the 2 minutes specified on the instructions...because the first time I cut it open, it was still frozen inside).  So the sogginess and the toughness are a weird combination to start.

Okay, now let's move on to the inside of it.  Generally, it's just not very flavorful.  And unlike Amy's, you can't really tell what anything is on the inside (other than the black beans).  Every thing else becomes kind of one indistinguishable mess.  Except...there's some weird mush in it.  It's kind of brownish green...I even made deej eat some of it plain to try to get his opinion on what it was.  His remark (before he put it in his mouth) was that it looked like I'd chewed it up and spit it out (which I hadn't...I'd just pulled it out of the inside of the burrito).  After looking at the ingredients list, I imagine it's what they call "organic guacamole" (made with avocados, lemon juice, and garlic powder).  I don't think guacamole was ever meant to be frozen and then reheated.

In any case...over all, I like the ingredients list.  And it's great that it's organic.  It's also cheaper than Amy's.  But...if it doesn't taste good, I just can't justify it.  So next time I'm standing in the Whole Foods frozen food aisle, looking at the frozen burritos...I will probably not gravitate toward PJ's.

I picked a few of the PJ's Organic Chicken Burritos from Whole Foods and had high hopes. I love burritos, and the idea of an all organic option that I can eat at my desk in under 3 minutes sounds perfect. Unfortunately, I found the tortilla to be very cardboard-y and the fillings to be a bit lacking in overall flavor.

I've read some great things from my fellow Huddlers about Amy's Burritos, so I'm ready to jump on that train ASAP.
