- have good technique
- really big tortillas
- you can wrap it in foil
- If tortilla still isn’t large enough, make larger.
Or have 2 burritos.
If your burrito doesn’t stay closed, the person making your burrito had no idea what the hell they were doing. This is a Chipotle problem.
Yeah
I haven’t been there in a few years but I stopped in recently and I was a bit dumbfounded when they guy burritoing up my food made it as spherical as possible
Lol I reroll mine sometimes.
“Well, they keep shooting us for curing cancer, so…”
… just seal it with an oil and heat
why? do they not have hands? what a fucking waste of research dollars.
bro relax it’s just burrito tape
What do you expect food scientists to do?
Not event food things?
Wouldn’t your hand work really well to keep the burrito closed while you’re eating it?
But that’s like a two-hand job now, and I’ve got this drink.
Two hand jobs and a drink? Sounds like you don’t mind making a mess.
Looks like a strip of mold. No thanks.
That also looks like the saddest burrito, like it’s been kept in a cage.
This is why it’s important to have a diverse college campus.
Wow, I must be taking for granted the burrito jockeys in my city-- who has this problem?
Granted, that image looks like they were trying to make a burrito out of flat bread or some shit, does not look right.
burrito jockeys
Why does that sound like you mean a banana hammock
Dios mio…,
This is only a problem if you can’t roll a burrito…
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.
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
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.
and for the gluttons who overstuff their burritos so they’re difficult to keep closed.
Guilty. It’s not about the amount I want to eat, it’s about reaching my ideal burrito/stuffing ratio.
roll them in al foil, it keeps them warm while you roll others, and steams the bread slightly making a stretchyer texture.
Hmmm
So do you use a fork or a spoon?
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.
I smoked pot with Johnny Hopkins.
It was Johnny Hopkins and Sloan Kettering. And they were blazing that shit up every day.
Good technique and a dab of water
Nobel Prize incoming
I like to crisp up my burrito in a pan after I roll it. if you brown the side with the opening first then the juices trying to escape soften up the tortilla enough to get cooked together. It’s like welding a burrito shut.
I use a dash of cheese in the flap and then I throw it on the griddle
Sounds like a great idea.
That’s no longer a burrito. That’s a chimmichanga.
Chimichangas are deep fried
Were just talking about a quick sear to seal the burrito shut
This is in a dry pan, so no oil. A toasted sandwich is still a sandwich. Putting your burrito in a hot pan/griddle does not change it being a burrito
Counterpoint: If you sear a sandwich shut you have a panini.
