and hey, one could argue he could reduce his own power by will to not be able to eat the borrito .
Yes, this is similar to what I was thinking. people will argue "but if he can't NOT eat the burrito, doesn't that mean he isn't omnipotent?" but not being able to do something is not a part of omnipotence. its simply a lack of something, much like dehydration is not a thing in itself; it's simply a lack of water.

enlightened people function on a "want to/don't want to" basis, not a can/cannot basis.

plus, who even said the purpose of enlightenment/godliness is omnipotence?
