You are obviously not Asian

If I called rice "crap" to my wife or her family, there would be hell to pay. We have it with pretty much everything.

Don't fuck with Chow Yun Fat's rice!

rice is fine, i love rice. mexican rice is delicious.

it just doesn't belong in a burrito, it belongs on the side so you can enjoy it on its own.

 

[KingKong]

Rice works because it lets all the flavors combine well together. Otherwise youre just eating mouthfuls of meat and vegetables

 

[ironcreed]

Rice, beans, chicken and/or steak smothered in hot sauce = heaven, my friend.

 

[ChryZ]

Well, at least nobody is so insane to put pineapple into burrito.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Lol this thread is from January of 2015. I'm sure OP has seen the light by now.

Nah man he hasn't seen the light yet. The rice on a burrito to him is like putting mustard on a hot dog.

 

[-x.Red.x-]

I agree 100% fuck pineapples on pizza.

now this one confuses even me

 

[studyguy]

Rice is just filler here. I get why it's in a burrito though.

Traditionally I've only ever had rice in a burrito if I've eaten out at some place.
At home with my entire Mexican family no matter where it is, who is cooking it, how it's prepared. Rice is always on the side. Period. Most of my burritos at home don't look like something out of chipotle though, that's just an invention of fast food.

 

[KingKong]

You know whats been my jam lately though, sushi burritos. Its basically just a big sushi roll but its so refreshing

 

[Ricky_R]

I actually gag a bit whenever I'm reminded about pineapple on pizza

 

[mmazurkiewicz]

Well, at least nobody is so insane to put pineapple into burrito.

Pork and pineapple burrito is one of the best I've had in life

 

[mattp]

Well, at least nobody is so insane to put pineapple into burrito.

ever have tacos al pastor?
im sure thatd be great in a burrito

edit: also hawaiian pizza is a crime against humanity. and rice in burritos is delicious

 

[sf2fanatic]

now this one confuses even me

I like adding Rice in burritos.

I like adding mustard in hot dogs. Are you a ketchup only on a hot dog person too?

 

[Lasthope106]

First of all, as a Mexican, Burritos offend me. The region that I'm from doesn't have these abominations.

Second, OP, you are crazy son! Seek immediate attention now. You insulted my favorite topping on a pizza. I could have let it slide the crazy idea that rice ruins burritos, but you took it way too damn far. Apologize BISH

 

[Mossybrew]

A burrito I'd about all ingredients coming together in harmony, not stuffing as much meat as you can in a wrap.

I'd agree with you there, the dispute is that rice has no part in that harmony. Meat, pico, guacamole, cheese, sour cream. There's no room for rice and beans in this party.

I really need to get back down to SD to get a proper carne asada burrito. Carne asada fries too. It's like Mexican Food Mecca down there, a taco shop on practically every corner.

 

[brotherbean]

People talk like the rice in a burrito adds no flavor. If that's the case then you're doing it wrong. The rice should be loaded with cilantro and lime.

 

[Lexxism]

Lol this thread is from January of 2015. I'm sure OP has seen the light by now.

I doubt about it. Have you seen who necrobump this thread?

 

[BigJonsson]

I'm a fan of rice in a burrito and pineapple on pizza

 

[mysocksarepink]

rice is a side

it's meant to be on the side

get it out of my burrito

 

[Subitai]

I really like both. Come at me OP.

 

[PSqueak]

Actually, screw that. How about:

[Burrito/Pizza hybrids]

A Burrito place near where i live kinda does this, basically they make a pizza on top of an unrolled burrito tortilla.

 

[Kthulhu]

It's one thing to not like rice in a burrito, it is another to not think it belongs there at all.

 

[HvySky]

But pineapple on pizza is delicious.

 

[ReAxion]

There's burrito without rice?

This and all the posts like it are so sad to me.

That's a Mexican thing? There was a Mexican guy living in our house about 7 years ago and he would go through 2-liter bottles of Coke a day. I think he even tried to argue that it was healthier to drink Coke than it was to drink water. I thought it was just him, though.

I heard it's a water quality thing.

 

[pgtl_10]

I can't stand traditionalists especially with food. I want people to be creative. There is no one standard way of making or eating a dish.

 

[SpecX]

Whatever, I love me some cilantro lime rice in my burrito. I only hate when they pack more rice than anything else in there and still charge a premium price.

 

[Bread]

50% of the people in this thread hate pineapple on pizza
50% of the people in this thread hate rice in burritos

i ran the numbers through this machine over here and i found that it makes me 100% correct.

[MonkeyKing]

This thread makes me more upset than it should. Burritos are good both with and without rice.



This can't possibly be a thing.

Edit: Apparently that's a thing.

Pastrami burritos are a beautiful thing. You get some pastrami, pickles, mustard, some cabbage.....absolutely amazing.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

What is this fuccboi shittery. Rice in burritos is fine, Jesus.

 

[FunkyPajamas]

Filler? You guys are crazy. This is the cornerstone of most Mexican dishes.

Thank you for attempting to educate these heathens. I fear though that such a task is impossible. Let them go back to their E. Coli infested Chipotle food.

That's a wrap not a burrito.

 

[Ominym]

That's a wrap not a burrito.

I've been trying to figure this out for years, but what marks the difference between a wrap and a burrito?

 

[Ramma2]

I've been trying to figure this out for years, but what marks the difference between a wrap and a burrito?

Open ends vs closed ends.

 

[GoldenCrow]

I've been trying to figure this out for years, but what marks the difference between a wrap and a burrito?

For me it is this: A burrito is a self contained meal that is Mexican inspired. A warm tortilla that is preferably corn based rather than flour, a layer of rice, then sauteed onions, maybe mushrooms or roasted peppers, a serving of frijoles, a chilli based sauce with slow cooked veg or meat, lettuce, salsa (I usually do two pico de gallo then something with a a bit of a kick), cactus, jalapeños, and spicy sauce, guacamole, I don't do the dairy but sour cream and cheese. Then tucked and wrapped into a burrito which is almost bursting, if the server cuts it then they need a slap. A wrap is a sandwich that uses a tortilla.

 

[keffri]

Do people actually think this?

Crazy.

I'm glad none of the places I go to ruin my burrito with cheese, guacamole, or sour cream

Carne Asada fries are amazing though. I'm happy to have found a place in LA that does a decent job at it

 

[therapist]

whats with gaf's irrational hate of pineapple on pizza?
It can be good

And burritos normally do have rice , dont they?

 

[LakeEarth]

I love rice in a burrito.
I love pineapple on pizza.
I've never tried it, but I bet I'd like pineapple in a burrito.

Therefore, I'm the devil.

 

[Spiral Insanity]

How is it not? Have you eaten rice by itself? Why would anyone do that to themselves?!

Doesn't mean it is filler food... jesus.

 

[televator]

I go to Colima often when I'm in Mexico. There's a place that serves burritos. You know what they look like? A double sized egg roll filled with your choice of meat and potato. HOW DARE THEY SERVE ME SUCH UNAUTHENTIC FOOD.

I love rice in a burrito.
I love pineapple on pizza.
I've never tried it, but I bet I'd like pineapple in a burrito.

Therefore, I'm the devil.

Lol, I eat tacos al pastor that have bits of pineapple in them. Lucifer be my name.

 

[Persona7]

still can't believe all the burritos i ate in mexico at various locations were unauthentic

 

[Philia]

I feel weird eating rice in a flour tortilla. Both are carbs. A better analogy is like eating two slices of bread instead of one.

 

[LilWayneSuckz]

I feel like the OP is the person that maintains the burrito Wikipedia page.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

No, it's awesome.

You are wrong

Hey! I like pineapple on pizza!

These two posts sum up my position, which is the complete opposite of yours OP. I think you are mistaken. Filler foods in things that need to be filled is present and correct. You need to adjust your understanding of food construction.

 

[A Serious Man]

I could live off Mexican rice. Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, I pretty much do.

 

[Zombine]

Anyone try to put pineapple pizza in their burrito?

 

[Dabanton]

Pineapple adds value to ANY pizza it's on.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

Bread continues his epic failures at life

 

[MrToughPants]

So restaurants can charge you and arm and a leg for its SIZE. It's FILLER. It's cheap. It's so a restaurant can put in a bite or two at most of the most expensive ingredient - meat.

Rice should always be on the side, with beans. That filler doesn't belong inside a burrito next to glorious meat, cheeses and sour cream.
