With the help of his family and friends, he gathered an army of volunteers to fill, wrap, and transport the mammoth burrito. The burrito, which weighed in at over 2,000 pounds, was made with an assortment of local ingredients, including 500 pounds of ground beef, 250 pounds of beans, 100 pounds of cheese, and countless pounds of fresh vegetables. On Sunday, surrounded by a cheering crowd at the Albuquerque Convention Center, Rodriguez and his team carefully unveiled the monstrous burrito, its length dwarfing the venue’s basketball court. “It was surreal,” said Rodriguez. “I couldn’t believe we actually did it. It took so much planning and teamwork.” The official measurement was conducted by Guinness World Records adjudicator, who certified the burrito’s length as a new world record. The previous record of 983 feet had been held by a team in California. Rodriguez’s record-breaking burrito has become a symbol of Albuquerque’s cultural pride. Local businesses are offering discounts and promotions to celebrate the city’s culinary achievement. “It’s not just a burrito,” said Mayor Tim Keller. “It’s a testament to the creativity and determination of our community. Javier and his team have put Albuquerque on the map.” Rodriguez’s family is planning to donate the burrito to local food banks to benefit those in need. “We’re so happy we were able to break the record,” said Rodriguez’s mother, Maria. “But the most important thing is that all this food will go to help people.”
