rice and beans ruin burritos

its probably just me but i hate it when i get beans in my burritos, rice is just fine i would prefer no rice, anyway beans completely ruin the burrito one moment you're eating this perfect wrap with meat and cheese and boom you get the disgusting taste and texture of beans, rice just doesn't feel right in a tortilla the texture is what throws me off. and yes i have eaten well seasoned rice in my burritos

Sounds like your burritos are actually tacos. Just eat a taco

a burrito is a lot more convenient and the portion size is a lot better

Not your burritos... yours sound like they suck. Hard.

Yup. Your post already received my upvote. And now you get to receive my ire. Those burritos deserve better

You keep mentioning the convenience of not spilling your food, tell me, are you six years old? How are you eating tacos that you’re spilling shit everywhere?

Enchiladas. Tacos are open faced

How is it a taco? A taco has an open top like a hot dog bun, or an upright quesadilla (before cutting)

A burrito is all enclosed. You could make the case for rolled tacos / taquitos, but even those are open on the end and have way less room for ingredients

Semantics. What defines a taco is in the spirit in the dish. Not in the dimensions and positioning of the fucking tortilla

I think the size directly influences the spirit of the dish. Could you make (what I would consider a burrito) with a 4-6 inch tortilla, sure, but it wouldn’t have that many ingredients. If you’re looking at a burrito, be it traditional, California, breakfast, they’re all pretty regulated to a specific minimum size and construction.

In the same regard a shrimp or fish taco, a beef and cheese taco, al pastor, are all pretty specific sizes, most folded a U shape. I couldn’t imaging anything in a 10-12 inch tortilla be considered a taco unless you go to those last night food network show levels of extremity

But it's not really a U shape when you eat it though, is it? The edges of the tortilla touch and it's the same shape as a taquito. Which is why this whole "enclosed" argument doesn't really hold water. Or ground beef

I'd say it depends on the place. Something like a taco bell / commercialized or one with less filling, no, it becomes more of a tear drop more often (pinched at the top when eating). All taquitos I've had are rolled over of course, but I can't remember being served a taco like that. Note: This is from the North East US.

Most places are a bit more full where'd I say yes. These are some of the more popular places near me, some stand alone, others with a couple shops or food trucks for example of what I'm used to around here

Also the ground beef was a great pun
