A competitive eater is the first to conquer the latest food challenge by devouring a massive 5 1/2-pound burrito.
Pablo Martinez, ranked 20th by Major League Eating , took about 13 minutes to eat the 3-foot-long folded food at Taquiera Yarelis in Fresno, California.
"Burritos are my specialty," Martinez said before sitting down and eating it . "So hopefully I won't have a problem. But this one's pretty long. This is the longest burrito I've done."
The $23 concoction is typically cut into pieces and served to a family of four. It is made from five large tortillas, rice, refried beans, cheese, beef fajita, onions and topped with three different kinds of salsa and lime juice. The burrito is browned on a griddle and served in a long aluminum pan.

Since Martinez finished it, the burrito was free.
"Mark my words, I won't be the last,” Martinez said.” There will be others who will come to do this."
