  Apparently it is common in Mexico itself. I had to look it up because I was also incredulous at using a bay leaf in a burrito.

  Birria? Rice? Caldos?

  WTF do you mean who uses leaves in Mexican food?

  Every good pot of Mexican beans has bay leaves in it.

  I was curious, here is what I found: “We use bay leaves to add a subtle depth of flavor to dishes like our beans, rice, Barbacoa, and Carnitas.” - this was off a reddit post, so who knows.

  There’s literally a species of laurel native to Mexico that indigenous Americans used in their food for thousands of years.

  Bay leaves come from various plants and are used for their distinctive flavour and fragrance. The most common source is the bay laurel (Laurus nobilis). Other types include California bay laurel, Indian bay leaf, West Indian bay laurel, and Mexican bay laurel.

      Chipotle is to Mexican food what Olive Garden is to Italian cuisine.

      The number of people who think Mexico is a South American country is worrying

        Try asking Americans to point out South America on a map. You’ll have to not giggle as they point to Texas or Florida.

  Use it in with rice all the time. Its a very subtle flavor but it definitely adds to it so it goes in.
