        100%. I’ve never had this happen to me. It’s not even really that hard to get the hang of wrapping a burrito.

        If it unwraps when you aren’t holding it, is it really a burrito?

    This is only a problem if you can’t roll a burrito…

      and for the gluttons who overstuff their burritos so they’re difficult to keep closed.

      source
      • tias@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Guilty. It’s not about the amount I want to eat, it’s about reaching my ideal burrito/stuffing ratio.

      Tell that to every Mexican joint nearby that stuffs their burritos so full the moment you fork into it they explode in a overly soapy mess from all the cilantro.

      source
      • setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Who cares if a fork tier burrito stays closed or not? It’s already on a plate.

        source
      • doggle@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Well, if you were eating it with a fork anyway the I don’t see the problem… A lot of Mexican places (as opposed to Tex Mex) will also pou salsa or queso or something over the burrito, which then obviously requires a fork, but it’s also different from the burrito pictured.

        And you know you can just ask them not to put any cilantro on? It’s a garnish that typically isn’t added until the very end and a lot of people can’t stand the stuff, they probably won’t mind leaving it off

      It’s more a problem of the quality of the tortilla in my experience. With a halfway decent tortilla, I have no problems. Some grocery store tortillas are too stiff and don’t stick to themselves in the slightest. You can masterfully roll them, but the moment your grip loosens, it all turns to chaos.

      source
      • eestileib@sh.itjust.works ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Yeah you have to heat up the shell a little. Even the barrel-scraping Target store brand burritos can work if you steam/nuke them the right amount.

        source
    • FatTony@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      So do you use a fork or a spoon?

      source
      • doggle@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Neither? The whole point of a burrito, at least one of these style of burrito that isn’t swimming in some kind of sauce, is that it holds together well enough that you can eat it while holding it in your hand without making a mess. If it’s poorly wrapped then yeah it’ll come apart and you might want a plate and flatware to finish the job.

    When someone says their burritos won’t stay shut I immediately know that they don’t know what they’re doing.

  • platypode@sh.itjust.works ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    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.

    source
    • Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

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

      source
      • bobs_monkey@lemm.ee ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

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

      • Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        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 🤷

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

    • farfarawaay@sh.itjust.works ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      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.

  • greedytacothief@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I like to crisp up my burrito in a pan after I roll it. if you brown the side with the opening first then the juices trying to escape soften up the tortilla enough to get cooked together. It’s like welding a burrito shut.

        This is in a dry pan, so no oil. A toasted sandwich is still a sandwich. Putting your burrito in a hot pan/griddle does not change it being a burrito

      nori sticks to itself like Saran wrap sticks to itself, but would nori stick to a tortilla?

        If it’s too wet it might need some time to dry, moist is best. Like this dry moist state when your laundry is tumble-dried not quite to your liking.

    Corporate food has created unholy tasteless dry abominations called “tortillas”. They have convinced Americans that this is what tortillas are. They have played us for absolute fools.

    Real tortillas are freshly made wet dough immediately squished and cooked before forming burrito. They are delicious and sticky enough to hold on their own. It’s perfect but not mass producible.
