You might be a Californian if...........?

And just like that, Carl's Jr. introduces the San Diego Burrito.

Carl's Jr./Green Burrito co-branded stores are purporting to offer a Southern California flavor with the new San Diego Burrito.

The burrito features charbroiled steak and the brand's natural-cut French fries rolled up in a flour tortilla along with guacamole, salsa, and shredded Jack and cheddar.

According to John Koncki, director of product development at Carl’s Jr. and Green Burrito: “Down there near the border, many Mexican restaurants offer steak burritos with French fries in them so, of course, we had to try them and they were great!"

While Carl's Jr. is terming the style as a "San Diego Burrito," in San Diego, it's called a "California Burrito" and attributed to the local beach culture.

The burrito is available a la carte for $3.99 or can be had in a combo for $5.99.

If you're looking to try the San Diego Burrito, Carl's Jr. has a "$1 off" coupon on their website here.

That almost sounds Peruvian. The Peruvians have something called Lomo Saltado, which is steak, fries, tomato, red onion, peas, and sauce over rice.
