I ordered the Chorizo Burrito (Mexican family recipe for sausage)
and green tea iced tea (the owner's personal recipe).
It doesn't qualify as a sandwich as in two slices of bread,
but hey, it is exactly what this project is about:
the profound beauty of simple ingredients in unexpected surroundings!

The place was littered with faded photos and signs.
The Virgin Mary gazed out at us.
Caballeros squinted at each other.
Colourful plastic chairs offered respite from the threat of rain.
We were reminded by another sign that it was "Cash Only".
A "No dog droppings" sign was taped onto the garbage can closest to our table
and nearby public washrooms offered interesting graffiti.
When we ordered our lunch, the owner said that Sturgis North was a disaster for her business.
Locals stayed away because the road was closed to everyone except motorcycles.
She was confident that the Roots & Blues Festival in August would keep her busy.
I dropped a few coins into her Mexican Retirement Fund tin.
My loaded veggie burrito was as delicious as I remembered it
from my last visit when she had just opened for the season.
A few drops of Valentina Sala Picante added a little heat to my bites.
Bliss!!
