For those of you who said god doesn't NEED to eat - it's not a question of NEED - it's a sweet delictable burrito - he'd WANT to eat it!
For those of you who said he's all-powerful so he could eat it are forgetting that being all-powerful he could heat it to the nth degree so maybe he couldn't eat it
As for Ask Mr. Religion - saying god cannot act in an illogical way because he is the perfect divine being is contradictory - iif he's perfect and all powerful he should be able to act any way he chooses - illogical or otherwise
Lastly, those of you who think this is just blastphemous - well, you need to lighten up and enjoy life.

The fact is that a supreme being, God, cannot act in an illogical manner with respect to that being's divine and perfect attributes. Hence, God cannot make a rock so big that He could not move it, nor could God do anything that would be a logical contradiction to His divine nature.
Omnipotence means God can do everything that is possible. Your misunderstanding that gives rise to this question is that you equate omnipotence with infinipotence. The latter is ludicrous. The former would amount to absolute impotence as there is nothing for the Almighty to exert power over. Omnipotence doesn’t mean that God can do anything. The concept of omnipotence has to do with power, not ability per se. In fact, there are many things God can’t do. He can’t make square circles. He can’t create a morally free creature who couldn’t choose evil. None of these, though, have to do with power. Instead, they are logically contradictory, and therefore contrary to God’s rational nature.
See also:
"Whatever implies being and nonbeing simultaneously is incompatible with the absolute possibility which falls under divine omnipotence. Such a contradiction is not subject to it, not from any impotence in God, but because it simply does not have the nature of being feasible or possible. Whatever, then, does not involve a contradiction is in the realm of the possible with respect to which God is omnipotent. Whatever involves a contradiction is not within the scope of omnipotence because it cannot qualify for possibility. Better, however, to say that it cannot be done, rather than God cannot do it." (T. Aquinas Summa Theologica p. 163-164 , Volume I, ques. 15 ans. 3)
One needs to have a formal knowledge of philosophy and logic to understand the nature of my answer. Just claiming "he is all powerful so he can do anything" is nonsensical.

What a conundrum! There are tons more, here are a few:
If God knows everything, could he get lost if he wanted to?
If God is Omnipotent, then why would he create a being knowing full well that their skin will eternally be burned off in hell.
If God is so all knowing and all powerful, why would he create a hell.
If he is so powerful, why kill the entire Earth with a flood? Do you realize that death by drowning is quite scary and painful!!!
If God is so amazing, why did he need to use Mary?

No he does not need to , but I hear it's very hot in hell so I would ask Satan instead or even better FIND JESUS and you would not have to ask a question like this . Let me ask you 1 question please ' will I see YOU in Heaven my friend " ? If you can't answer this I wont see you there , so I would not worry so much about a burrito God has bigger problems like your soul! Remember JESUS ???? However Satan wants your soul as well so today for Lunch how about you get a old dusty bible out read John 3 : 16 and well maybe eat a burrito !!!!!!!! Good Luck to you lIfe is short we never know when time is up !! BLESSINGS and Hug , Nicole : )

Strength comes not from exhibiting/acting with all one's might but from having the ability to limit oneself .
