Yet another reason to love Mexican food.


Two police officers and a burrito are receiving praise for their brave rescue of a kitten stuck in a drainage pipe.


Officers Jimenez and Corona of the Parlier Police Department in California used a piece of “partially eaten” burrito to lure the hungry animal from the pipes, the department said on Facebook.


The rescue effort on Monday also included some meowing by the officers, according to NBC-affiliate KCRA.


The department released a short video showing the cat in a bit of a predicament:





The kitten is safe and in the care of Parlier Animal Control, according to police.


Authorities also said that Officer Corona hopes to adopt the kitten and name the lucky feline — you guessed it — Burrito.
