I know next to nothing about Hispanic food in general, but I’ve gotten a few food truck burritos in southern California and it opening was not on my list of concerns.

Is this a common problem? I’ve almost never had a burrito fall apart on me unless it outright rips–I once made the mistake of ordering a burrito in Scotland, and that was pretty formless, but it was also less a burrito and more an embarrassment hiding under an ill-fitting tortilla.

For me, I tend to overstuff my burrito innards. As a result, I’m not able to fold in the ends over the heaping pile of innards so this tape would actually help me get that coveted wrap action without making me address my lack of self control.

bro just use two overlapping tortillas for a larger burrito

TWO tortillas!? In one burrito!??! This is forward thinking… https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/9979bc85-fa52-48f9-a1f4-8f41fceb0bef.png

Or use bigger tortillas or make two smaller burritos for innards to tortillas ratio

That adds a lot of calories, of course…

My general rule of thumb is that I don’t eat Mexican food in places where there aren’t many Mexican people.

Yup, made that mistake once while living in Vermont many years ago. As someone who grew up in socal, it was brutal.

That’s easy for you to say, but some of us like burritos and live in Europe!
And yes, you CAN get good Mexican food here. Nowhere near as good as in the US near the border, of course, but MUCH better than in the worst US places for it like idunno, Utah or Alaska or some such 🤷

Utah used to be partly in Mexico territory before the recent unpleasantness and it has many good Mexican restaurants.

Btw, I love that you apparently refer to the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe as “the recent unpleasantness” 😆

Ok, I guess I’ll change it then… How about South Carolina?

I bet you didn’t know the burrito was invented in America.
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Not true. Small donkeys existed for millions of years before the United States 😛

Make Burrito Great Again

Mission style burritos aren’t particularly Mexican, though. But they also shouldn’t be particularly hard to eat.
