"There are a whole bunch of reasons why homemade food tends to taste very different from chain restaurant food, and in most cases, it involves chemicals and stabilizers that you really don't want to know about. When it comes to crafting Chipotle's burritos though, the magic lies not in some artificial flavoring agents but in the soft and chewy tortillas. The good news is that these are easy to recreate at home if you know a simple trick."
"If you want to get even closer to crafting Chipotle's burritos, buy the right tortillas ( we rated 12 store-bought tortilla brands for you). Alternately, you could just make them from scratch, since Chipotle's tortillas use just a handful of ingredients, which are all easily available at your local supermarket. A decade ago, Chipotle doubled down on its positioning as a healthy brand by cutting out all additives and preservatives from its tortillas. The Mexican fast casual chain partnered with the Bread Lab on the Washington"
Homemade burritos often taste different from chain versions because chain tortillas use texture and processing rather than artificial flavors. Heating glutinous flour tortillas briefly before wrapping prevents dryness; remove tortillas from heat before they crisp so they stay pliable. Chipotle uses a press of two hot plates to warm and stretch tortillas, and at home warming can be done briefly over an open flame, on a griddle, or using a vegetable steamer. Wrapping finished burritos in foil traps steam and keeps tortillas soft and chewy. Chipotle uses simple ingredients without additives and worked with research partners to reformulate its tortillas.
