I like it when they harden the tortilla, remove the beans, rice, meat, and replace it it with lettuce, medium salsa, finely ground turkey, and salsa. Some people call that a taco, I call it delicious.
I usually get:
steak, black beans, two doses of cooked mushrooms, grilled onions, grilled peppers, cheese, sour cream, tomatoes, guacamole, and lettuce.
Chips and salsa on the side.
@compunaut where I get the burrito, I wouldn’t consider it really Mexican to begin with. I don’t like the burritos they serve at my favorite Mexican restaurant. They are the wet kind that you eat with a fork and knife.
@RiotDemon I like Chipotle & Freebirds (restaurant) burritos, but would never consider sour cream (sacrilege!)
Funny thing: Grew up in Chicago suburbs (age: 50s). Didn’t eat out all that much, and there weren’t really any ‘good’ Mexican restaurants around. Didn’t like the crappy ‘tacos’ created by white suburbians in the 70s. Didn’t really experience authentic Mexican food until living in St Louis in mid-90s when my roommate introduced me to a little dive downtown called El Sarape. I remember it being delicious (the alcohol might have helped).
Changed my (food) life forever. Now wherever I visit (domestic or international) I want to taste the local specialties
Anyone in the Seattle area had a Gorditos Burrito Grande? http://gorditosmexicanfood.com/menu/
It’s about halfway down the Burritos menu and it is astounding.
Yeah, that technically makes it a Chimi, but still… so long as it has a crispy golden shell, it can be filled with anything from just “meat” and beans (a 'la School Cafeteria days) to the trendiest fusion-form and I’m good with it.
A burrito isn’t necessarily just a “mexican” food. You can stuff a wheat tortilla, corn tortilla, gordita, what have you with whatever you like. Eggs and potatoes, hot dog with chili beans, peanut butter and jelly, and my favorite is a Thai mix of stir fried large shrimp with Serrano peppers, mint leaves, & cilantro and plain white rice. Chile relleno (stuffed peppers with cheese) burritos too.
Burrito de rajas con crema: roasted poblano peppers (a big mild pepper with great flavor) and onions in Mexican crema (kind of midway between heavy cream and sour cream). Second choice carnitas. I usually get one of each.
A veggie burrito with beans, rice, salsa, peppers, lettuce, tomato, cheese, & sour cream.
My favorites I can get only in spring and summer, because they are at McCormick Field during baseball season.
I’m in San Diego. Lots of yummy Mexican restaurants around these here parts.
My favorite taco was called a guactac. Her sister’s husband’s family owned a little place called Carillo’s back in the 70s and it was a shredded beef rolled taco, but not complete rolled, there was a little shelf of tortilla and that was loaded with guacamole.
The breakfast burritos my step-dad (former step-dad, dad-type-person, primary father figure) cooks. They are perfect. All the pieces are really small, so you get a little of everything in every bite.
Literally all styles.
Why are there so many words in this poll?

There is not a burrito out there that I do not like.
No rice. Ruins a burrito for me.

@RiotDemon You had me until the sour cream; ruins any Mexican food

Never ate a burrito before.

@ilovehollboll Coming from Southern California, I think a burrito was probably my first food.
@conandlibrarian
Coming from where I come from, it’s not surprising that I’ve never had a burrito.
Oh man, I miss real Mission burritos. Pancho Villa, Burrito Real (no more), etc.
@gglockner Burrito Real: gone but not forgotten.
I would sooner eat the gerbil in the posts above than eat a burrito. What a disgusting excuse for food. The smell of any Mexican food nauseates me.
@JoeSeadog found the old salty seadog.
@JoeSeadog What about a breakfast burrito without any “Mexican” stuff in it? Just cheese and egg and sausage in a smished-down round roll.
FILL BURRITO WITH ALL THE THINGS!!
Local restaurant makes a great steak burrito, steak, onions, beans and covers with mole’. great flavor.
Carnitas!
Deep fried!

Burrito:
@rockblossom the cutest kind!
Bean, cheese, guacamole and sour cream.

Y’all all come cook for me.

@katylava That looks tasty but more like a couple of tacos. Not a burrito.
@gglockner photo is pre-fold
@katylava If it’s not bursting at the seams, it’s just a taco
Is it accurate to say things made with wheat flour tortillas are “authentic Mexican”?
@craigthom it is, as long as you hashtag it #alternativefacts.
