Josh Marquez responded with his answer of 384, 912.  Josh says that he arrived at this figure by assuming the following:

6 wraps x 6 freebie options x 9 veggie options x 6 salsa options x 9 sauce options x 22 meat and veggie options

Josh did not include the option of sour cream and/or guacamole.

Josh told us that his favorite Bonfire combination is Carne Asada on a Cheddar Jalapeno tortilla with refried beans, rice, light lettuce, with lots of cheese.  For his effort Josh won a gift certificate worth $25.00 at Bonfire’s Tortilla Bar.

We need your help!  We have been trying to figure out just how many possible burrito combinations there are at Bonfire’s.  While we are pretty good at creating hot sauces and tasty marinades, we need a real math whiz to calculate the number of different burrito combos that could theoretically be created.

We are offering a $25.oo gift certificate to the first person to email us joe@bonfirestortillabar.com with the formula and the solution showing your results.  You will need to download our fax menu to review the possible combinations.  For the purpose of this contest, let’s only consider THE REGULAR SIZE.  Don’t forget that the regular comes in 6 different flavor tortillas, (cheddar jalapeno, flour, spinach, tomato, honey wheat, garlic n herb).

To be eligible to win, you must also tell us in your email what your favorite Bonfire combination is.

Joe’s Way

Just for the record, while I enjoy a few different combinations, my favorite burrito is on:

Cheddar Jalapeno, with Steak (Carne Asada), Refried Beans, Rice, Queso, Cheddar-Monterey Jack, Cilantro, Fresh Cut Jalapenos, Pico de Gallo, a little Sour Cream, and our Afterburner Hot Sauce (habanero) ]]> http://www.bonfirestortillabar.com/25-gift-for-1st-to-calculate-the-of-burrito-combinations/feed/ 0 http://www.bonfirestortillabar.com/what-makes-a-bonfire%e2%80%99s-burrito-unique/ http://www.bonfirestortillabar.com/what-makes-a-bonfire%e2%80%99s-burrito-unique/#comments Tue, 04 Sep 2007 10:36:19 +0000 bonfires http://www.bonfirestortillabar.com.php5-5.dfw1-1.websitetestlink.com/?p=54

What makes a Bonfire Burrito unique? Since opening in late 2003, we have been pleased with the positive response from the citizens of Goldsboro and the personnel at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base.  We informally quiz newcomers as to how they have heard about Bonfire’s, and most of you respond that you have learned about us from co-workers or friends. We appreciate the good word of mouth. Your kind words make us feel like Wayne County’s Most Beloved Burrito Joint.

But, what makes customers buzz about a Bonfire’s.  I feel that what makes our burritos unique are the flavored tortillas, the house recipe seasoning blends, and the salsas and sauces, and of course their monster size (the beast weighs in at around 2  1/2 pounds). Mostly though, YOU are what makes a Bonfire burrito unique. With so many toppings to choose from, the one that you create is assembled by our burrito technicians under your watchful eye and comes out uniquely yours.

Our tortillas come in six flavors. The cheddar jalapeno (very popular and contrary to it’s name – not spicy), the Traditional White Flour, the Spinach  tortilla, the garlic and herb, the sun-dried tomato, and the honey wheat flavored tortilla. Each one adds its own interesting texture and mild flavor profile.

We take seasoning very seriously. With a name like Bonfire’s, some folks probably assume that we simply just add heat to everything. While we do have the ability to fire up your burrito with some insanely hot sauces, we also create our own mild fajita spice blends and marinades. We even blend our own garlic salt to suit our taste!

The real Bonfire difference is probably best defined by our salsa and sauces.  We consider our salsas to be our chunkier recipes and our sauces to be our smoother recipes. We have 15 on hand to choose from and of those 11 are house originals and really define a Bonfire Burrito.

Another difference is the shear size of the dang things. They come in three sizes.  The junior, is typically just under a pound and is for both adults and kids. The regular is our most popular size and weighs in around 1.25 to 1.5 pounds. The Beast is so large at 2.5 pounds that it is typically shared by two or devoured by one (usually just for the bragging rights!)

But, as I said earlier, YOU make the biggest difference! Each burrito is unique to you, the ultimate burrito connoisseur. There are literally thousands of possible combinations, but don’t feel overwhelmed. Just pick the toppings that YOU like and it will taste great.

Remember, Bonfires’ Tortilla Bar is where burritos are always in good taste!

Bonfire’s Tortilla Bar participated in the 2007 Taste of Wayne Competition which kicks off the annual fundraising drive for the United Way of Wayne County. This years event was held on August 14th at the Wayne Community College. Attendendance was very strong this year.

Bonfire’s won in both categories that they entered, winning “Best Healthy Food” for their watermelon salsa and in “Best Fast Food” for their chili con carne.
