Mom wasn't feeling super hungry that day for lunch, and I was feeling lazy myself. She didn't notice this. I kind of don't blame her.

"Stoplight Chimichanga"
January 9, 2011
Ingredients:
Chimichanga*
Home made red and green salsas
Shredded Mexican blend cheese
Sour cream
*This is an advanced Mexican-American method of frying a burrito so the outer shell is crisp and full of cholesterol if possible. You can also cook them in olive oil if you want them to be healthier. What you fill the burrito with is up to you. I think this one had some leftovers seasoned with salsa to make it taste more like Mexican food. The fact that it is now a chimichanga instead of a burrito makes anything inside taste much better.
Okay, I feel like I have to defend this. I've been spoiled enough to live in one of the places in the USA with some of the best Mexican food, and I have to say that this really doesn't look too much different than a regular chimichanga. I was trying to figure out exactly what to do with a chimichanga like this without inundating my mom with too much food. This was pushing the limits as it was. I was starting to overfeed her for the past few days, and since she hates to waste food, a lot of it ends up as leftovers. That's kind of the last thing I need, so I just resorted to trying to make this look like a stoplight.
Pareidolia isn't just about faces. It's about the human brain identifying shapes in objects that are coincidental, like the faces on Mars. If she said "this looks like a stoplight", then my hope to trigger the response would be successful. Alas, like most people, she just thought it was a burrito. I informed her it was a chimichanga, and she enjoyed it.
