Dang these things are good! I could end the review right here because that really sums it up. But that would make for a short blog post so here’s a bit more…
The cool folks at Evol sent me 16 mini burritos to try in a variety of flavors. Because they’re frozen, FedEx delivered a full-size cooler loaded with dry ice and the precious burrito cargo…pretty entertaining as far as deliveries go.
When I mentioned this to my friends on the 3:20 thread, my pal Ron/ESG piped up with “I regularly eat and enjoy those Evol burritos.” Aha! A good sign right off the bat.
You may be wondering why Evol sent these to me in the first place. Well it so happens that these tasty things make the perfect apres-run recovery meal. We need carbs and protein after a run and it’s excellent to have a handy, fast thing that isn’t sweet. These savory treats really hit the spot.
Maniacally adoring my Evol Burrito
Calorically, they’re excellent, from 160-190 calories depending on the flavor but the best part is that they’re all natural. The chicken is free-range, you can identify the veggies inside the Veggie Fajita (that one’s vegan, btw) – it’s simply clean eating. And all it takes is one minute in the microwave.
Another fab thing about these is that they list the protein and fiber grams on the front of the wrapper so you know what you’re getting right off the bat and if it’s a low-fat one, it’ll say so as well.
Speaking of the wrapper, their whole business model is way hip and includes a large dollop of humor. On the back of the wrapper is their tagline “An Evol plot to change your world: Evolburritos.com“. I’m into that. So check out their site and put them on your grocery list, they’re worth it!
Please excuse the total non-sequitur, but if you guys want to get in on the Zico coconut water giveaway, it ends tonight at 9pm. The clock is ticking…

Huh. I’ll check that out, sounds interesting!
If Ron likes the Evol burritos then I guess I should try them. We have something like 44 Facebook “likes” in common. Baaaaa…..baaaaaaa…….
My mouth is watering, and that’s a great pic. If you ever get back into acting, you should play villains!
Just to be clear, though, I don’t do “minis” (except for certain trail shoes)! Glad you enjoyed them. Like the company’s product and approach.
lol your face is awesome
That photo is priceless!!!
Just not a good idea right before that long run, though, I’d guess 
If they can send somebody to cook them up for me, I am sold
Their pizzas look tasty too. I have a $50 Whole Foods gift card and now I know just what to do with it!
