Learn to wrap your burritos you suckface food noob.
So, skill issue?
100%. I’ve never had this happen to me. It’s not even really that hard to get the hang of wrapping a burrito.
Wrapping no but it is hard to get the amount of innards right. I’m just too excited to eat all those good guts. But then I have a burrito bowl, oh well.
iD-10-T error
are you gatekeeping burritos 😳
YES
If it unwraps when you aren’t holding it, is it really a burrito?
No. It’s a failure that shames your entire bloodline.
You are very right my edible friend.
I happen to be fat so…yes.
suckface food noob
That is a Shakespearian level insult.
I am quite eloquent.
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.
Guilty. It’s not about the amount I want to eat, it’s about reaching my ideal burrito/stuffing ratio.
roll them in al foil, it keeps them warm while you roll others, and steams the bread slightly making a stretchyer texture.
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.
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.
Who cares if a fork tier burrito stays closed or not? It’s already on a plate.
The entire thread conversation is clearly not about plated burritos.
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
You’d be gob smacked about how much cilantro goes into every part of a Mexican dish lol.
It’s basically asking some restaurants to make fresh meat, fresh queso, and fresh vegetable mix from scratch. Not going to happen lol.
So do you use a fork or a spoon?
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.
I bought a master lock for my burrito, it can be opened with another burrito.
This is the burrito picking lawyer and what I have for you today is delicious!
I’ve picked like 10 locks since Christmas. Lpl and McNally have created a menace.
Pan-sear your burritos shut.
He will help c:
If you are still having a hard time, a thin layer of cheese to form a crust seal never fails
At work we just lick one edge of the tortilla like an envelope before we serve it
Cheese in the seam or cheese in pan and burrito on top?
Both, both is good.
I am lactose intolerant and I approve this message.
Depends on the type of burrito and ingredients. For breakfast burritos I put cream cheese in them, and then smear a bit on the inside seam and it works well to glue it shut. For a texmex style burrito you could use a bit of refried beans, or sour cream. If you’re wearing your burrito you can just sprinkle a bit of shredded cheese of any kind in the seam and when the cheese melts it’ll hold it closed.
If I’m wearing the burrito, I’ll usually just hold it shut!
Now you have a chimmichanga.
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.
I use a dash of cheese in the flap and then I throw it on the griddle
Sounds like a great idea.
That’s no longer a burrito. That’s a chimmichanga.
Chimichangas are deep fried
Were just talking about a quick sear to seal the 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
Counterpoint: If you sear a sandwich shut you have a panini.
Wouldn’t your hand work really well to keep the burrito closed while you’re eating it?
But that’s like a two-hand job now, and I’ve got this drink.
Two hand jobs and a drink? Sounds like you don’t mind making a mess.
Well, I can do it one-handed for like a minute while I’m staying hydrated. Cleanup afterwards is a given anyways.
I feel like nori would work, no?
Right? Japan has only been doing this for 1,200 years or so.
Seems like the obvious answer.
Why not use a small piece of Nori (the salty Sushi seaweed) and moisten it up with water and use that?
I did this for years
Because I have opposable thumbs and have successfully eaten thousands of burritos without tape.
That’s what this looks like
You’re telling me this ain’t nori? Why.
I didn’t realise the Wolves fullback would be on lemmy, but I don’t think its surprising that he would tell you this
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.
On this episode of redundant inventions that already have a better solution…
“Edible” does not mean “good”.
The sticker on most fruits sold in American grocery stores that contains a bar code is nominally edible.
My ass is nominally edible.
How you doin’?
You need a friend named reward.
You could be like a crime fighting duo
Until the inevitable betrayal…
Doin’ fine, what about yourself?
Famous last words.
I buy fruit just for the stickers. I eat the stickers and throw the fruit away. I do it on TikTok for views. I’m edgy like that.
/s those were all lies that I just made up in my head. But I’m sure it’s possible someone would do that.
Om nom nominally
It’s called not using a cold ass tortilla
Call me up when they invent edible zippers.
All zippers are edible if you’re very careful
Mmm, delicious
Thank-fucking-science, it’s about time
Yeah, but now I can’t open it up to make sure that no one cummed in my burrito…
Free protein
If that’s a major concern I’d maybe recommend making your burrito.
Uhhhhh, fuck no. Some children invented this shit back in 1999. It was on Figure it Out. How fucking dare you.

Wtf Michelle Trachtenberg is in that?! I never really knew of her in those days I guess, not until Buffy onwards.
