"But whether they're the best or just in the running, it's hard to deny that burritos have a lot going for them. A tortilla stuffed with seasoned meats, tasty veggies, flavorful sauces, and almost anything else you could want inside is a clear winner. They're versatile, portable, filling, and delicious. That means they check every box you could ask for when making a meal."
"There is heated debate across social media about whether or not rice belongs in any burrito. Those against it point out it's just a carb on a carb. A Reddit thread compares it to eating a mashed potato sandwich. The general complaint is that rice adds very little to a burrito besides being a filler. One Redditor added, "I don't know anybody that goes to get a burrito and wants a mouth full of rice.""
Burritos combine tortillas with seasoned meats, vegetables, sauces, and other fillings, offering versatility, portability, and satiety. Opinions split on rice as a burrito ingredient: opponents view rice as redundant and an unflavorful filler, likening it to a mashed potato sandwich and arguing it wastes space. Rice in burritos traces to Mission-style burritos from 1960s California and is not typical in most traditional Mexican burritos. Supporters contend that rice absorbs juices from meats, salsas, and vegetables, reducing drippiness. Rice can be effective when mixed with other ingredients rather than layered as a thick, separate component.
