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 😳
If it unwraps when you aren’t holding it, is it really a burrito?
YES
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
This is why it’s important to have a diverse college campus.
Uhhhhh, fuck no. Some children invented this shit out back in 1999. It was on Figure it Out. How fucking dare you.

It’s called not using a cold ass tortilla
On this episode of redundant inventions that already have a better solution…
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.
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.
My general rule of thumb is that I don’t eat Mexican food in places where there aren’t many Mexican people.
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, North Carolina or Alaska or some such 🤷
Waited all summer for the Mexican place in Gardiner to open when I worked in Yellowstone. Gardiner is on the border with the park.
Anyway, myself and two friends, all of us from Texas, were very vocally disappointment. It was so bad. The pizza place was great though.
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” 😆
Shhh, don’t talk about the war!
I’ll try…
Yup, made that mistake once while living in Vermont many years ago. As someone who grew up in socal, it was brutal.
I bet you didn’t know the burrito was invented in America.
Not true. Small donkeys existed for millions of years before the United States 😛
I’ve got an urgent update about American demographics for ya…
Make Burrito Great Again
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…
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
I like Nori, but that’s a whole different flavour profile to most burritos
That’s what this looks like
nori sticks to itself like Saran wrap sticks to itself, but would nori stick to a tortilla?
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
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.
That’s not a burrito, that’s a clutch purse. Learn how to roll a burrito.
Pan-sear your burritos shut.
Now you have a chimmichanga.
If you are still having a hard time, a thin layer of cheese to form a crust seal never fails
Cheese in the seam or cheese in pan and burrito on top?
Both, both is good.
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!
- have good technique
- really big tortillas
- you can wrap it in foil
- If tortilla still isn’t large enough, make larger.
“Edible” does not mean “good”.
The sticker on most fruits sold in American grocery stores that contains a bar code is nominally edible.
Om nom nominally
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…
