Fort Collins' contribution to burrito science: seasoned potatoes standing in for rice, wrapped with cheese and beans, then smothered in green chile at the counter.
Big City Burrito's counter on South College Avenue built its name on the potato burrito, an unorthodox move that swapped rice for crisp seasoned potatoes and turned a cheap student feed into a civic institution. The Fort Collins original still opens at 07:00 and runs the drill all day: tortilla, potatoes, beans, cheese, and the essential green chile smother. It is the closest thing the city has to a native fast food.
