This is only a problem if you can't roll a burrito...

[–] [email protected] 48 points 11 months ago (1 children)

and for the gluttons who overstuff their burritos so they're difficult to keep closed.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Guilty. It's not about the amount I want to eat, it's about reaching my ideal burrito/stuffing ratio.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

roll them in al foil, it keeps them warm while you roll others, and steams the bread slightly making a stretchyer texture.

It's more a problem of the quality of the tortilla in my experience. With a halfway decent tortilla, I have no problems. Some grocery store tortillas are too stiff and don't stick to themselves in the slightest. You can masterfully roll them, but the moment your grip loosens, it all turns to chaos.

Yeah you have to heat up the shell a little. Even the barrel-scraping Target store brand burritos can work if you steam/nuke them the right amount.

The amount of cracking in that pic indicates they took that shell right out of the fridge and rolled.

Tell that to every Mexican joint nearby that stuffs their burritos so full the moment you fork into it they explode in a overly soapy mess from all the cilantro.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Who cares if a fork tier burrito stays closed or not? It’s already on a plate.

The entire thread conversation is clearly not about plated burritos.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Well, if you were eating it with a fork anyway the I don't see the problem... A lot of Mexican places (as opposed to Tex Mex) will also pou salsa or queso or something over the burrito, which then obviously requires a fork, but it's also different from the burrito pictured.

And you know you can just ask them not to put any cilantro on? It's a garnish that typically isn't added until the very end and a lot of people can't stand the stuff, they probably won't mind leaving it off

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

You'd be gob smacked about how much cilantro goes into every part of a Mexican dish lol.

It's basically asking some restaurants to make fresh meat, fresh queso, and fresh vegetable mix from scratch. Not going to happen lol.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

So do you use a fork or a spoon?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Neither? The whole point of a burrito, at least one of these style of burrito that isn't swimming in some kind of sauce, is that it holds together well enough that you can eat it while holding it in your hand without making a mess. If it's poorly wrapped then yeah it'll come apart and you might want a plate and flatware to finish the job.
