hi leddit

>>19150185
cant believe some of the shit i read on this board. no, you're not really missing out, i haven't eaten a burrito in years. but burritos are delicious so why dont you have one and get it over with

Here there arent any burrito joint

burritos are a zero sum game

Where are you? Obviously it's just grilled meat, beans, veg, and rice wrapped in flatbread with a few condiments, but there is some nuance of course:
>meat
Chicken, beef, or pork, sometimes shredded or ground. I'd actually start with chicken. Are you in a part of the world with shashlik/shish kebab? Chicken bits grilled over charcoal with peppers and onions would be a great start. Some people use chorizo (spicy sausage) or less common beef cuts. Balkans should have some great sausage for burritos!
>beans
OP looks like refried beans which might be hard to find/make outside America, but really almost any beans will do. Pinto and black beans are common.
>veg
Pepper and onions are pretty essential but also pretty universal. Can you get avocados? Guacamole is awesome, you don't even really need a recipe, just mashed avocado is fine. We'll come to the tomato/corn later..
>bread
Tortillas, flat bread made from corn or wheat flour, sometimes fried in egg wash. But honestly the bread is often the weakest point... and substituting quality pita, or naan, or lavash could be even better, as long as it's strong/flexible enough to hold the ingredients. Burritos are often wrapped in aluminum foil or paper too, to help hold them together. Don't feel bad if the burrito falls apart, it happens all the time.
>extras
Salsa usually has a pureed tomato base but can also be corn. Sauces can be mild or hot. Are you somewhere with ajvar? That could be great. Many people add cheese, ideally shredded cheese, any cheddar will do. Another common addition is sour cream; smetana or Greek yogurt would work just as well.

To repeat, the hardest flavors to replicate outside America (North/South/Central) are probably refried beans and avocado, I don't even know what other countries have these things. Aside from those, no, you are not missing too much.

I fucking hate it whe the burrito fillings arent mixed, everything is in layers and everytjing but the meat and rice is cold
>take a bite
>cold vegetables and cold sauce assault your mouth while the meat, which is segragated into its very own tiny ghetto, desperately tries to heat it up
and yet places like this are often highly rated. disgusting

Forgot to add:
>rice
Typically white rice, nothing too exciting, but serves as nutritional filler, adds texture, and helps to soak up juice/sauce.

>>19150423
Italy, burrito joints will never sticks here

>>19150489
You can cook anything at home. You don't want Mexicans around.

Tacos are superior. Burritos are just tacos that are bloated with gay beans and rice filler.

>>19150185
Nothing. USA burritos are gross

>>19150427
rice is one of the worst fillers in burritos. Youre better off with egg, peppers, cheese or potatoes, and white rice is just ruining good burrito space. Unless youre broke as fuck and trying to get by

>>19150210
>do I fit in yet?
No. No you don't. At all. You're the one who needs to go back. You only came here out of spite because you never got any karma points. Work at it, you malignant cunt.

>>19150489
A burrito isn't too far away from a piadina rolled up, rather than folder. Stick with Italian (but not American Italian (ever)) food. There's a reason it's so revered.

Separate question: what's the difference between a burrito and a fajita?

>>19150185
Wraps are superiour

Burritos are good.

>>19151102
fajita is seasoned grilled strips of meat, strips of peppers, and strips of onions served on a smaller flour or corn tortilla, usually eaten like a soft taco

burritos is any number of things rolled up in a larger flour tortilla

>>19150424
>wahhh contrast pls give me uniform mush

>>19150375
Burritos are totalitarian in nature.

>>19150185
Next to pizza, burritos are one of the best American culinary inventions.

>>19151149
Thanks anon. I think that's why I like fajitas better. Burritos seem not to have any distinct flavour – it's all mixed in to fuck.

>>19151278
>mixing the ingredients so they're the same temperature and distributed evenly
>somehow, an anon thinks that's the same thing as an "uniform mush"

>>19151389
Not everyone is a whiny little b*tch like you, sweaty.

Lurk moar.

>>19150654
You're talkin my language senpai, we haven't even broached the subject of "breakfast burritos". Look, I'm not much of a goyslop guy, but the "Sonic" fast food chain in America does a burrito with:
>scrambled egg
>sausage
>fukken TATER TOTS (do Euros even get these?)
>jalapeno peppers
Best fast food breakfast item ever, speaking as a goon who's put down his fair share of Macca's Big Breakfasts after a late-night heist.

Growing up my mother would always turn leftovers into burritos. It usually worked, except when she made stew...

>>19150423
Refried beans often ARE pinto beans though. Pinto beans and lard are not difficult to find outside of America.

>>19152805
More referring to familiarity with the preparation method but thanks for adding the info boss, we need to get people up these BEANS dog. Refried beans are amazing, even just smeared on bread, it's American hummus my nigga, it's bussin fr no cap. And when you add some GUAC to the mix? And a sprinkle of Adobo seasoning? Maybe even a sprinkle of lime juice boss? And some baby shrumps? DAAAAAAAAYM

It occurs to me, Bubble & Squeak would make an amazing British burrito, you could even add those sick Heinz Beanz, some Colman's for a little heat O FUKK pls England go to the Asian store and get some naan and roll up a thicc Anglo Breakfast Blunt for us HNNNNNG

>>19152828
Get on our level, the average Anglo has cold chicken tikka masala in the refrigerator with rice and naan, two minutes in the microwave and you have the ultimate breakfast burrito along with a bottle of Stella Artois.
>egg on your vest
More like FIST IN YOUR FACE you cambridge nonce

If you want to make good burritos you have to make homemade flour tortillas it’s easy
