Burritos are a favorite food of many people, Making burritos at home is also fun. Today I’m going to tell you how to make burritos.
You can turn a taco into a burrito just by folding the tortilla differently. Burritos start with flour tortillas that are folded and rolled to completely enclose a filling. Fry them and you get a chimichanga—a specialty of Sonora, Mexico. Supersize the tortilla and fill it with rice, meat, beans, and more, and you have a Mission-style burrito popularized in the Mission District of San Francisco. Let’s make it together.
Step 1: Make Burrito Filling
There are no set rules for filling a burrito. Test your tortilla strength and pack them with a variety of fillings or just pick one or two. Mission-style burritos usually contain Mexican rice, beans, and meat options like shredded chicken, shredded pork, or steak al carbon. But even when it comes to rice and beans, you have many choices—you can learn how to make burrito rice options such as Mexican red rice, Mexican green rice, or plain white rice, and fill your burrito with classic black beans or pinto beans. For other filling ideas, try chopped onions or sautéed onions and peppers, sliced avocado or guacamole, shredded cheese, or homemade salsa.
Step 2: Prep and Fill Burrito
Choose 8- to 10-inch flour tortillas for burritos since they need to be large enough to fold. Place them in a stack and splash with a few drops of water before wrapping tightly in foil. Bake in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes or until heated through. This makes the tortillas pliable and easier to roll and fold. Spoon fillings onto each tortilla just below the center, loading on only as much filling as the tortilla can hold and still be folded and rolled (no more than 1½ cups for a 10-inch tortilla).
Step 3: Fold the Burrito
Start by folding the bottom edge up. Fold the opposite sides in and over the filling. Roll up the burrito from the bottom. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
Step 4: Heat the Burrito (If That’s Your Style)
Cooking the burritos makes the outside of the tortillas crispier and heats the fillings through, but it’s an optional step. If your fillings are already hot and you don’t want to crisp your burrito any more, you can skip this step and go straight to your first bite. To bake: Place burritos on a baking sheet, seam sides down. Bake in a 350°F oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until heated through. To cook on the stove: Lightly oil a large skillet or griddle and heat over medium heat. Place burritos, seam side down, in the skillet or on the griddle, and cook for 2 to 4 minutes or until burritos are browned on both sides, turning once.
