If you and your household love burritos, you don’t have to go out to enjoy the classic Mexican favorite. The hearty tortilla wraps are delightfully easy to make, and the flavor combinations are only limited by your imagination. You can assemble all the materials at home to let everyone make their own burrito!
Build Your Best Burrito
A tortilla shell is like a blank canvas, and everyone in the kitchen can assemble their burrito as they see fit. All you have to do is supply a variety of ingredients. Clear some space on a kitchen counter or dinner table to lay out a spread of fillings, veggies, and seasonings to let the culinarians in your home get creative. Chicken, ground beef, or skirt and flank steak can be cut into thin slices and grilled for meat options, while whole beans offer a vegetarian protein option. Onions can be served fresh or sautéed with bell peppers, and tomatoes can be diced or made into salsa. Sliced fresh or pickled, jalapeños add spice and flavor, but don’t forget to balance that heat with some shredded cheese and sour cream.
A Southwestern Staple
The modern-day burrito developed from the corn tortilla-wrapped meals that have been common in Mexico for centuries. While many of the original ingredients like chiles and avocados remain, contemporary burritos are now typically wrapped in flour shells. A popular street food in northern Mexico, burritos served by street vendors and restaurants often feature a primary source of protein and only a few other ingredients for flavor. Hearty meats like flank steak or tender barbacoa could be accompanied by rice, beans, or rich mole. The handheld meal transformed as it spread up the western U.S. coast, with major cities developing their own varieties. The Mission-style burrito in San Francisco is much larger than the original, with heaps of rice and whole beans rather than the refried fare. In the culinary confluence of Los Angeles, you might find a kogi burrito, which adds a Koren twist with sesame oil and chile-soy vinaigrette.
