Burritos Alinstante

Starting in 1989, Shirley Chavez set out to open their own business and decided to call it "Chavez Tortillas. Shirley enlisted the help of her daughters and family. Everyone worked very hard to make tortillas and deliver them all over Albuquerque and Valencia County to local grocery stores. The tortillas were also sold over-the-counter at the new "Chavez Tortillas" . However, tortillas proved difficult to make well in a homemade fashion for an inexpensive price and Shirley quickly came to realize that her dream needed a few tweaks. To further promote sales, Shirley decided to offer some delicious homemade food to encourage people to try her tortillas. She started by offering a burritos to anyone who stopped by. People loved them! - and started bringing their friends by to try one. Word travelled fast, business increased, and Burritos Alinstante was born!
