how do i get more burrito for my money?

If you're at Chipotle, just ask for extra rice.

See, rice sets the tone for the whole burrito. You get extra rice and then what, they’re going to give you a tiny amount of beans?

No.

They give you extra beans so the proportions match.
Same with:
-Chicken
-Pico
-Corn
-Sour cream
-Cheese

By asking for extra rice (which basically costs Chipotle nothing so they add like 30% more) you end up with about 10% extra of everything else without having to ask for it. At the end you’ve got a four pound monstrosity that breaks through the initial tortilla wrap. This is a pretty cool hack so I actually did the math using Chipotle's nutrition calculator and here's how it all works out.

Assumptions:
1. No narcs behind the counter. Asking for more rice leads to 10% more of each individual ingredient.
2. The burrito ends up being so humongous that it has to be double wrapped.
3. A burrito costs about 10 bucks and you get water to drink

I have ordered the same thing for the last 15 years so I'll use that as my benchmark burrito and we'll tally things up from there:

Each dollar buys you 38% more burrito! 🤯

This probably applies to other things in life too. Ask for a little more of something free and people will give you more of things they value but I’m not here for that nonsense.
