The Press Tea eatery in New York City has cleverly combined two of the most sought-after college student meals -- instant Ramen noodles and burritos -- into one deliciously gluttonous food item called the Ramenrirto. The world of burritos will never be the same.

The Ramenrito really is the ultimate food pairing. Now foodies can enjoy the delicious taste of a [Mexican burrito](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wet-burrito) filled with salty instant Ramen noodles. While these Ramen noodles are cooked rather than hard and crunchy, they would definitely be a good topping for soaking up the flavors of other ingredients such as [beans, corn, guacamole](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bean-rice-and-cheese-burrito) and salsa. Imagine the different flavor profiles chicken, pork, beef and spicy Ramen noodles would add to a burrito. The possibilities really are endless. Hopefully several other burrito eateries begin to offer Ramen noodles as a burrito topping.
