Isn't a burrito without rice just a differently wrapped taco?

is there a problem here

 

[Persona7]

I am from California and rice is a common burrito filling. when I went to mexico the burritos I ate had rice and beans.

 

[plentyofmilhouse]

I can take or leave pineapple on my pizza, but there had better be plenty of rice in my burrito.

 

[Media]

Burrito without rice is called a soft taco.

Potatoes are an acceptable substitute only in breakfast burritos and only if green chile is involved.

 

[#sorrynotsorry]

I'm from Florida, but even here if you go to a legit truck or restaurant, a burrito never has rice or beans. Conversely, if you go to a shitty tex-mex place, they will fill the burrito with fucking rice and beans.

People who eat burrito's with rice and beans in them are like the unfortunate folks who are born in prison camps in North Korea...

...because neither have ever enjoyed a correctly made burrito.

Excuse me? 1. Tex mex doesn't usually do that. I'm from Texas, I would know. 2. When it does, it's better for it. 3. Sounds like you've never had good Tex mex.

Let me guess, you also think chili should have beans and grilled chicken is BBQ. GTFO of here with this shit. Rice = life.

well yeah chili definitely needs beans that's obvious

 

[BlackGhost]

Bread, this thread is an abomination. We didn't do it.

Damn the first time in months we didn't do it -_-

Let's start putting rice on pizza because it tastes good, throw some in your lasagna too. Add rice to everything because it tastes good.

 

[cpp_is_king]

When you put beans in chili, it's not called chili anymore, it's called "chili with beans". But figures you wouldn't know this considering you don't eat rice in your burrito.

 

[sephi22]

I came to USA 4 years ago and had my first So-cal mexican food experience.
I got used to rice in burritos till I tried an all-meat burrito.

Night and day difference. I look at burritos with rice as standard generic fast food while all meat burritos are authentic once-in-a-while experiences.

Burrito + rice = Pizza hut/Dominos of burritos
All meat burrito = Stone oven cooked deep dish pizza from your local dine in

something doesn't add up here

I live in Cali too and he's not wrong. If you go to any of your Del Taco/Taco Bell/other chain/food truck and get a standard burrito it'll have rice on it.
No-rice burritos aren't uncommon but you need to know where to look and what to ask for

and when you put rice in your burrito it's a burrito with rice, right?

That is certainly true, but my point wasn't to disparage authentic Tex-Mex but rather to highlight the difference that most folks would experience between going to a place that makes authentic burritos vs the most popular chains in the US, which typically advertise themselves as being tex mex and are also shitty.

I will die a sad man if I never get to have some authentic Texan cuisine, but I haven't ever seen it in Florida, Alabama, or Georgia. Here we get shitty tex mex chains.

 

[GameAddict411]

I have never had a burrito without rice.

 

[cpp_is_king]

No, the rice is supposed to be there. But when you don't put rice in a burrito, then it's called a burrito without rice.

 

[Pinko Marx]

1) screw you OP a burrito without rice aint a burrito
2) pineapple on pizza is ａｂｓｏｌｕｔｅｌｙｄｉｓｇｕｓｔｉｎｇ

well yeah those are national fast food chains

 

[Troubled Bat]

Dafuq? Rice belongs in a burrito. Just not so much of it.

 

[Kacho]

This thread needs to be nuked. Bad OP.

 

[ZoddGutts]

Glad I live in Cali, lots of places where you can eat real burritos. Hell even at my HS there was this kid that would sell burritos made by his mother and they would sell like crazy, no rice either. Rice in burritos feels so... cheap especially when they put a shiltload of it, no thanks.

I am sorry then, brother.

 

[Arment]

Agreed with the pineapple. I don't like my savory mixing with my sweet.

But rice in a burrito, that's another thing. I can't agree.

 

[Trouble]

I agree OP, putting rice in a burrito is delicious just like pineapple on a pizza.

 

[sephi22]

So many Cali-Gaffers fighting the good fight.
I'm not even from America and I'm glad my tastebuds could figure out that burritos without rice felt superior. Never buying a burrito with rice in it again.

Also Pastor>Asada

PS: Pineapple on Pizza is godlike. OP's right about the rice but wrong about the pineapples

 

[Muffdraul]

Once in a great while I'm in the mood for a Canadian Bacon & Pineapple pizza.

I'm never in the mood for a burrito with rice. That's just nasty. And totally non-canonical.

 

[M0nochromatic]

Beware that, when fighting shit tastes, you yourself do not develop shit taste... for when you take a bite out of the abyss. The abyss also bites into you.

[zer0blivion]

I agree with the thread title in that it's a perfectly acceptable thing to do.

I don't get the obsession some people have with the eating habits of others. If someone wants to put ketchup on a hot dog, pineapple on a pizza, ketchup on a steak, whatever; fill yer boots, man.

 

[Rushersauce]

Pineapple on pizza is for those who have developed superior taste buds.
Your loss, buddy.

 

[LyleLanley]

Damn the first time in months we didn't do it -_-

All streaks have to end eventually. So in that sense we did it!

 

[Fenderputty]

This is an odd necro bump, but I would like to maintain my stance that Mexican food outside of Cali and new mexico is garbage.

Rice in small quantities is OK. Without rice is good too. I don't like when places use it as cheap filler to make their burritos huge.

In general though, I eat al pastor and carnitas street tacos much more often than a burrito.

Also ... pineapple on pizza is good too, but it's more of a craving itch for me and not a regular pizza topping. When I order it I get it with Canadian bacon and jalapenos.

 

[ReAxion]

And here I thought I was a weirdo for always going no rice, no beans on my burritos. More room for the goodness.

Impressive organic discovery. I salute you.

 

[Shanlei91]

Let's start putting rice on pizza because it tastes good, throw some in your lasagna too. Add rice to everything because it tastes good.

Congri in Lasagna actually tastes amazing.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

I started adding rice to them because it fills me up quicker for fewer calories than what I would otherwise fill a burrito with.

[PeakPointMatrix]

It ruins a great meal.

Rice is a filler food and it has no place in the second greatest food of all-time (behind pizza), burritos.

Tell me why you disgrace such a heavenly food with this crap?

THANK YOU.

Hate that shit.

Rice is a side food to be accompanied by a protien of choice. In this case the rice's role is fulfilled by the actual wrap. Rice is unnecessary. Hell even beans barely make the cut for me.

 

[PSqueak]

A burrito without rice isn't a burrito.

As a mexican i am certified to say, you are wrong.

so very wrong.

And again, i am a mexican, we eat everything with a side of rice and, even so, putting it in a burrito is a HARD no.

 

[Violater]

I love pineapple on pizza.

 

[SaganIsGOAT]

Rice rules in burritos
pineapple rules on pizza

FITE ME

 

[psynergylover]

Food Gaf has been taking some serious L's as of late!!!

Burrito without rice? GTFO!!!!

 

[hydruxo]

Well I like pineapple on pizza so rice in a burrito is alright in my book

1v1 me bro

 

[Chie Satonaka]

This thread inspired me to go to Qdoba.

I'm quite enjoying my chicken queso burrito. With rice!

Thanks, OP! :3

 

[pillowtalk]

I go to UnaMas and order the pineapple burrito. It's great. It also has rice.

 

[Kozak]

Pineapple on Pizza was okay when you were a kid and didn't know better

But what's a Burrito without rice?

 

[Antiwhippy]

THANK YOU.

Try some hianese chicken rice and tell me the rice is the side dish.

 

[RoyaleDuke]

I'm From California and seeing all these California bros backing it up...

BEAR BURRITO FORCE ONE.

 

[Monocle]

Both great ideas.

 

[HvySky]

I just like burritos.

Give me one with rice. Give me one without.

I'll eat all that shit.

 

[TAJ]

Pineapple on Pizza was okay when you were a kid and didn't know better

A better burrito.

 

[Timeaisis]

I like rice on my burrito, if it's good rice.

 

[partyphone]

i just saw this thread and I'm appalled. this is awful even by gaf standards.
