"The Sonoran flour tortilla is the point. It is larger and thinner than standard flour tortillas — a vehicle, not a participant. The carne asada is cooked over an open flame, which adds char that is visible and intentional. The guacamole is made with the knowledge that it will be eaten immediately. This is restraint as a philosophy."
