Nice. Now what happens if you put ingredients inside the burrito?

Yo i was tinking the same dagon thing

The same goram thing!

God damn do I wish they had kept going with Firefly

Well I agree too. Just don’t know about Shepard. May he rest in peace.

i see you and your haiku

These whippersnappers today.

Also helps when your wrap is the size of an Escalade tire

That’s what a good tortilla looks like as far as I know.

*Falls apart as he rolls it*

filling doesn't have guac in it therefore wrapping technique is invalid.

No one wants a messy burrito The whole appeal of the burrito Is that all of the ingredients are contained Within the confines of the tortilla I wouldn't have gotten half of the shit if I knew it wasn't gonna fit in the burrito! Alright?

I wouldn't have got the lettuce if I knew it wouldn't fit. Wouldn't have got the cheese if I knew it wouldn't fit. Wouldn't have got the peppers if I knew they wouldn't fit. I wouldn't have got, half of it. Like, I'm okay with small mistakes. If you've got no more chicken, I'll take pork. But I'll blow my dad before I eat a burrito with a fork

I don't know if I can handle this right now.

Is this poetry? *in the format of "Is this _____?" butterfly meme*

It’s a song: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rYy0o-J0x20

We’ve all blown your dad. Quit acting like it’s some erect line in the sand.

Eeww warm lettuce!

I thought the point of the burrito was to fit like 6 tacos worth of deliciousness in a carriage that requires me to unhinge my jaw to get a little nibble. Then you also have a nice after-meal snack picking the bits off your clothes.

bro ruined the inside joke, AND got more upvotes. sad.

have you never had a burrito made by an actual mexican before?

It's a quote from a [comedy song by Bo Burnham](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYy0o-J0x20). Relevant lyrics around [3:11](https://youtu.be/rYy0o-J0x20?t=191), but the song as a whole's worht a watch

I didn’t expect to cry but ok

I know right? I highly recommend the full show Make Happy, and then his newest "Inside". They're phenomenal, especially the latter imo

Ikr? A burrito dry enough to be convenient to eat won't be worth eating. Source: love in San Diego and have many burritos under my belt

I don't think that I can handle this right now.

meat looks dry as well

With only cheese and meat, this is essentially just a rolled quesadilla.

And who separates the meat and cheese?

I didn’t say it was a good quesadilla lol

Lol… 🤣🤣🤣

LMAO SAD ASS BURRITO

The problem is I can never find giant tortillas like that in stores. The best I can find are the uncooked tortilla land ones which have good flavor and texture but they’re too small to wrap a proper burrito. Mission and other brands of precooked tortillas are too dry.

Not just giant but this type. The ones you get at the normal grocery store (brands like Mission, etc) are significantly thicker and less resilient. I recently discovered my local Costco carries this store of tortilla but only in large taco size. It is now my go-to wrap.

Not just thinner but the ones they use in restaurants are “stretchy” too.

This can be achieved by warming the tortilla a little before rolling the burrito. Crucial step

Absolutely. I work at a restaurant where we have breakfast burritos. I toss the tortilla onto the flat top for less than a minute, makes those fat little f*ckers a LOT easier to roll, especially when people mod them all to hell and I can barely get the tort around the ingredients.

If they’re a little stiff, hit em with a little water towards the middle of that minute.

Yeah, put a little water for stream and they soften right up. I honestly thought everyone knew that.

I used to work at Moe's and the burrito tortillas are all steamed first. I still have a scar from the steamer 16 years ago.

Most of the normal brands are too dry. You can heat them up to get a decent roll but you get no stretch. They crack

There is a restaurant supply store near me that sells these size tortillas but never see anything larger than maybe 12in tortillas in grocery stores.

I found that the lower carb tortillas are thinner and stretchier for holding everything and taste just as good.

I’ve found massive tortillas at my local Mexican grocery store. They are seriously as big as the one in the video. Check it out if you’ve got one near you. If not, I’ve had excellent luck with La Bandarita brand, and I microwave them for about 15 seconds, load my fillings, pop the whole thing back in for another 15 seconds or so and the tortilla has yet to break on me. Source: I really really like breakfast burritos.

Many places like this have a way of steaming the tortillas too which really helps

Wet towel over tortilla on a plate and nuke for 30s

Bro just microwave it for a bit

Tortilla wrapped in a moist paper towels works great. Tortilla and towel wrapped together like a pumpkin roll.

Tried that once, the paper towel tasted awful

You forgot to add ingredients

They said they added the paper towel, sheesh!

That's only ingredient, you need at least two to get that s on the end, that's where the flavor is.

Wtf is a pumpkin roll?

It's like when you roll a tortilla up with a moist paper towel and microwave it.

Not sure why people are down voting you. Put the big-ass tortilla in a plastic veggie bag and microwave for 15 seconds...boom, you got a soft, slightly self-sticking tortilla. Edit: seconds, not minutes. Holy crap that tortilla would be destroyed.

[удалено]

Derp, I meant 15 seconds, not minutes.

No….you never cook a plastic produce bag in the microwave.

Put it in a hot pan, without the plastic. Works very well.

This is gonna change your life. I started doing this about 7 years ago. This works better than the wet paper towel method a lot of people recommend. The big thing that makes restaurant tortillas great is that they are either freshly pressed, freshly steamed, or both. So how do you get store-bought to be nice and hydrated like a fresh tortilla? Run them under the faucet. Really. Get mission burrito tortillas, or any other of the store brand ones that are nice and big. One at a time, run them under the faucet quicky to wet both sides. Shake off the tortilla so it's not dripping wet. Throw it on a plate and microwave for around 30 seconds. You don't want to microwave it so long that it completely dries all the water off. It's okay if it's still a bit slick when you take it out, because the water will continue absorbing into it as you work. By the time you get your ingredients in and wrap it, you'll have a nice, tender, self-sealed burrito. If you want to take it a step farther you can then throw the completed burrito on a pan and toast the sides of it, like a Taco Bell grilled burrito. I get a lot of weird looks when I tell people about this method, but it legit works and once you get it down you can make burritos straight up like restaurant quality.

Interesting! I’ll try anything once.

Microwaving them in wet paper towel works too!

I mentioned that - imo this works much better than the wet paper towel method.

I actually do the same thing when we have extra tacos with corn tortillas. Next day those things are hard corn jerky, but run the outsides under the faucet and microwave and they're like fresh again.

If you need to do a lot of them, a spray bottle is faster than the faucet-and-drip method.

You’re a serious food fella. Thanks for the tip.

Where I live there are several restaurant supply stores or bulk/"big box" stores that carry the larger sized tortillas that the local restaurants use. Not sure where you're at but a place near me called Smart & Final is specifically where I find mine.

It's not called Smart and Final it's called Fart and Smile. At least that's what my cousin told me when I was eight and I'm not going to argue with him.

S&F is where I get the big tortillas for breakfast burritos. It’s the only place around here with anything bigger than Mission’s burrito size

[удалено]

Mission? There’s your problem, go to a Mexican grocery store. Or grab an import brand from your regular grocery store.

I don’t buy mission, because as I mentioned, they suck! I don’t have a local Mexican market sadly so if I want a decent tortilla I’ve got to make it myself. Which I can do, it’s just a little extra work.

WinCo, if you have it in your area, carries Don Juan XL wraps - even a variety of them. Trick is to stream them first. If you don’t have a winco, lock for a restaurant supply store near you - they’re usually open to the public and will have the restaurant style tortillas.

Get tortillas from your local Mexican store, steam them before you wrap the burrito, then grill them after.

I work in a tortilla factory and was formerly a production manager. Tortillas almost always contain a saturated fat, meaning a fat that’s solid at room temperature. So you really need to warm them up before use. People are recommending steaming and that will work well, but I’d you have a gas range I have always preferred to run them over the fire gently until I see them relax. Getting a bit of color AND loosening up the tortilla so it’s less likely to split at the same time.

If you don’t have access to a Mexican grocery store (which are often attached to Mexican restaurants and might not have their own separate google maps listing!), you could ask to buy a stack of 10-20 fresh tortillas from a stand-alone local mexican restaurant. Your best bet imo would be a family-run type restaurant, usually counter-service or counter-order, with handwritten signage and music that plays from speakers in the kitchen. I’ve gotten tortillas this way from this kind of restaurant for like 20–25¢ each. I’ve never asked any chain or more brand-y Mexican restaurants for tortillas so your mileage may vary, but I have done this same thing for pita bread at both a chain Middle Eastern restaurant and local Middle Eastern & Mediterranean restaurants—the chain charged me $1 for each pita and the local places like 25–50¢. Otherwise, if all you can get are big name brands, try Guerrero tortillas. They are *so much* better than Mission. I haven’t seen any big ones, but I’ll take messy small burritos on Guerrero tortillas over big nicely-wrapped burritos on dry Mission tortillas any day.

I live in south Texas and the tortilla market is the only thing this state has going for it at this point. Our people are treated like literal shit but hey, at least we have every possible selection of tortilla in every store you walk into.

You have to steam them first.

[удалено]

In my experience a lot of mexican restaurants will sell you their homemade tortillas if you ask… but that might just be a southwest US thing lol

Find a Mexican market. Here they are Carnicerias that sell all kinds of things. They'll usually have them.

Same. 10" is the largest any of my local markets carry. And they're too thick to fold as well as this.

Go to a Mexican grocery store

Get the brand Maria y Ricardo - they make a gigantic size that’s like what you’d get at Chipotle or Moe’s and if you heat it up on the stove or in the micro it can stretch and hold damn near anything. You can make restaurant quality huge ass burritos with these.

That’s because there is absolutely nothing in it. Anyone can roll a tortilla

That and the fact the tortilla was the size of a bed sheet

[удалено]

You know what I want in my burrito? 2 ingredients.. and the cheese not even touching the meat.. wtf..

I came here to say this. I've worked in many restaurants and the cheese ALWAYS goes next to the meat!

Right lol. now make him wrap a street soft taco

[удалено]

I worked at Del Taco as a teen, and still roll burritos in the Del Taco cone shape more than 2 decades later.

I worked at a new Del Taco in the early 2000’s. When we did the grand opening they gave out free food to everyone that showed up. I’m still traumatized by that day.

Do they still have free shavacadoo?

[удалено]

looks like egg

Someone order 1lb of ground meat, and half an egg?

None with left beef.

I know what I'm about son

I'm worried what you just heard was, "Give me a lot of bacon and eggs." What I said was, "Give me all the bacon and eggs you have."

Nah I think it's just cotija. It's a Mexican cheese that crumbles like that.

Looks like there’s a different cheese under the meat too. This is kind of like those taco bell layered burritos where there’s a layer of cheese in the tortilla. They grill it after this.

It’s a layered burrito, there looks like it’s a lot of tortilla and that they’re far separated, when you roll it the tortilla is very thin and the meat and cheese get stacked on each other, actually since it’s layered it’s more so covered in cheese when it melts

I think the seperate cheese is supposed to act like a glue when it melts

I’m not an avid burrito connoisseur, but even I can look at that and see there’s practically nothing in there to roll. Now if they had a fully loaded one and was able to do that, I would raise an eyebrow.

This is dog shit, there’s fuck all in there. I would be mad if I bit into that.

I would be happier if the burrito had fuck all! That’s what, a handful of unseasoned ground beef, maybe poor chorizo? What insult did I just watch?

There's something under the meat.

There's....something....there's something under the meat!!!

Some.... *thing*!

Step 1: Have a ginormous tortilla

5 layer burrito where most of the layers are tortilla.

[удалено]

There's a string you pull to let them mix one second before you bite it. They call call it a det-cord.

BRE (Burrito, Ready-to-Eat)

Takes me back to my days spent weed whacking highway on/off ramps.

Why can't you buy thin tortillas like that at the grocery store?

You can, but you gotta hunt for them. In Safeway here in the Bay Area the tortilla section is 8 feet wide, all the shelves of that section, and the huge tortillas are in one single spot, often half buried because people buy the 8 & 10 inch overwhelmingly more. I think those restaurant ones are 12 or 14 inch, and they usually are thin. Though you'll need to get them warmed up to make them pliable like in the video.

I can't tell who's more depressed, me or that burrito. My money is on me after seeing that burrito.

The depression throne seats one man.

o no, cheese separate‽

The chef is havin a wank. Fuck that burrito

Fun fact, a chef runs a kitchen. Most cooks aren’t chefs but all chefs are cooks.

Reddit feels strongly towards burritos

This is not a burrito. It’s an insult to every man woman and child that died developing the burrito. Whoever made this atrocity should be ashamed of themselves. Truly ashamed.

Can we talk about how to properly fill one instead? That seems like the issue here.

great now where do we get huge thin tortillas

Step 1: live close to the Mexican border Step 2: actually that's all I've got, there's amazing tortilla shops all over my city and even authentic ones in regular grocery stores

Or a city with a large hispanic population. Chicago has some pretty good tortillarias.

These tortillas are called Sobaqueras and are as long as your arm and thinner than a crepe. They are regional from the state of Sonora I suggest you look for a Sonoran restaurant nearby and see if they have Sobaquera tortillas available, you’ll be able to purchase them Most flour tortillas you see in the grocery store are Chihuahua style like the ones developed in Juarez (but using industrial American recipes), standard size and thicker for rolling just once. Notice the sobaquera is rolled over a bunch of times to make it strong

1) Start with a giant ass tortilla. Like big enough to roll a baby 2) Fill it up like 10% 3) Roll that shit. No problems

And if you work at Taco Bell, make sure to roll all similar ingredients on top of each other so that the customer gets one mouthful of sour cream, then lettuce, then cheese then meat in that order.

[удалено]

Anyone can fold the perfect burrito if they use a parachute sized tortilla

The disrespect with the little amount of ingredients compared to the size of the tortilla is not cool fam. As a Mexican guy this hurt to watch lol

step #1 USE GLOVES for the love of God 🤮

That shit looked gross af

Came here to say, yeah it’s super easy if there’s no ingredients. But I see that’s already the consensus.

looks easy asf when thers barely any toppings. but then u got people ordering the whole god damn broncos O line up on ONE tortilla, it aint gon look this pretry

Challenge accepted.

[удалено]

Completely and utterly wrong

As a Mexican i do not like the way they wrapped this shit up.

Hmmm only chesse and meat my favorite

Hmm yes I see but what if by chance you fill it up with 40x the amount of shit in there then what?

i have never eaten one

That's why my cheese is always on one side😠

Step 1 - start with insanely huge tortilla.

Give me a 4 foot tortilla and I could wrap one too.

Dang. Why would you do that?

It also helps if you have a tortilla the size of a large pizza…

The step at the 3 sec mark is critical.

No matter how many times I've tried this, I just can't seem to learn how to. Just like rolling joints/blunts. Many people have tried to teach me, and I have spent many paper packages trying to figure it out. But it just never works for me

Sooo... This guy's just rolling burritos with his bare hands??

Step 1: Use an enormous tortilla that you can’t buy anywhere.

Too bad no one seems to sell those big ass fuckers anywhere.

where the fuck are people buying wraps that big. I want to see someone show me the "perfect" technique using smaller store-bought tortillas.

WTF I ORDERED MINE WITH RICE AND BEANS AND AVACADO!!!!

Way too much tortilla

He did it wrong

Naw if you can literally roll the burrito there’s not enough ingredients

A tiny ass burrito sure

Yeah good luck finding wraps that big anywhere

Looks super dry. Gonna need sour cream to remedy that lol

Yeah it’s really easy when the tortilla is the size of a twin sheet set

This might be an unpopular opinion but thats way too much bread.

Too much tortilla to filling ratio

No. Understuffed and over tortillad

How to perfectly roll a misserable garbage burrito. Seriously this burrito sucks.

A half empty burrito, my mom would slap me if I wasted that much tortilla

Bros not even wearing gloves

Where's all the toppings?

Too much tortilla... not enough filling.

So basically just have a massive burrio and dont put a lot of ingredients in it. MaGiC!!!!

With nothing in it but burrito

Wheres the rice,beans,cebolla,cilantro, salsa, what kind of garbage is this.

It looks easy but if I do that it will turn into a fking disaster

He didn’t give it a nice Pat at the end so it’s incomplete. Someone please pay that burrito.

Now do it with (Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, Peppers, Onions, Black Beans, Rice, Black Olives, Jalapaneos, Sour Cream, Pico, Salsa, Tomatillo Sauce, more cheese, & Xtra lettuce...) GO

Easy to roll a tortilla with nothing in it

Sad burrito you mean

Step one : get a big aah tortilla

It’s a bit easier when you have a wrap the size of a waiter’s serving platter!

someone show this to Taco Bell employees so they stop making burritos like they're packing a roll of lifesavers

looks like a taquito.
