Do you have what it takes to be The Donkey? Baja Bean Co. doesn’t think you do, that’s why they are betting you can’t finish their 5 lb burrito challenge. I’m not really sure why it’s called the donkey, but it probably has something to do with the fact that this thing will kick your ass! It could also have something else to do with your ass, but I’m trying to keep this site as family friendly as I can. So give this challenge a shot and let us know how you do!
