I can't believe you don't like the taste of our 100% ORGANIC(-chemistry derived) American produced Mexican-flavored food substances!


But to answer your question, Burritos are rolled up like... blanket on a burro (mule).

So the word really just means "little donkey", probably because it resembles a bed roll or blanket that's rolled up on a donkey but small enough to hold in one hand and/or fit in one's mouth. When I lived in Arizona, 4 miles from the Mexican border, the Mexican restaurant in town still called the dish "Burros".(You can barely see it under the "a la carte" section of the menu on the right)

Fajitas are from faja, meaning like a strip of something, or a sash or belt. That could be strips of beef, pork, chicken, peppers, onions, human flesh, whatever. The reason the two get confused sometimes is because tortillas are often served with fajita platters (the platter itself is just a bunch of stuff cut up into strips and cooked in a 500 something degree cast iron skillet, with a pile of refried beans and lettuce and guacamole and whatever else)

I'd love to visit the USA just to stuff my face, man vs food I'd quite popular here and the food and little diners look so characteristic rather than our endless amount of chain eateries

When I make Alfredo I buy one quart of heavy whipping cream and a block of Romano and a block of Parmesan. This is enough Alfredo for 3 pounds of dry pasta, granted I'm not some stupid hoe who needs to smother my plate with sauce. Since Alfredo doesn't reheat well I generally only prepare as much as I think will be eaten then.

I personally think a roux makes alfredo worse. I also think Olive Garden's alfredo is some of the worst I've ever had - it is so bland and runny/gritty. I never even liked alfredo until I had some that was home-cooked and not from some idiot restaurant.

Jeremy's Alfredo recipe:

Lightly fry some minced garlic in clarified butter or olive oil

Add cream and heat to a light boil while stirring

SLOWLY work in your grated cheese and stir making sure all cheese is amalgamated before adding more

Add pepper to taste (I like a fair amount of black pepper and a little bit of white pepper)

Heat on medium heat while constantly stirring to add a little thickness - about 10 minutes. If you're stirring less frequently, use less heat and more time.


Enjoy!

Roux in alfredo? Blasphemy....
