Learn to wrap your burritos you suckface food noob.

100%. I've never had this happen to me. It's not even really that hard to get the hang of wrapping a burrito.

[-] Fenrisulfir@lemmy.ca 10 points 9 months ago

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.

are you gatekeeping burritos 😳

[-] wolfshadowheart@slrpnk.net 8 points 9 months ago

If it unwraps when you aren't holding it, is it really a burrito?

[-] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

No. It's a failure that shames your entire bloodline.

When someone says their burritos won't stay shut I immediately know that they don't know what they're doing.

[-] phorq@lemmy.ml 15 points 9 months ago

I bought a master lock for my burrito, it can be opened with another burrito.

[-] Got_Bent@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

This is the burrito picking lawyer and what I have for you today is delicious!

This is only a problem if you can't roll a burrito...

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 24 points 9 months ago

and for the gluttons who overstuff their burritos so they're difficult to keep closed.

[-] tias@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 9 months ago

Guilty. It's not about the amount I want to eat, it's about reaching my ideal burrito/stuffing ratio.

It's more a problem of the quality of the tortilla in my experience. With a halfway decent tortilla, I have no problems. Some grocery store tortillas are too stiff and don't stick to themselves in the slightest. You can masterfully roll them, but the moment your grip loosens, it all turns to chaos.

Pan-sear your burritos shut.

[-] UsernameIsTooLon@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

If you are still having a hard time, a thin layer of cheese to form a crust seal never fails

[-] TIMMAY@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

At work we just lick one edge of the tortilla like an envelope before we serve it

I like to crisp up my burrito in a pan after I roll it. if you brown the side with the opening first then the juices trying to escape soften up the tortilla enough to get cooked together. It's like welding a burrito shut.

[-] BingoBangoBongo@midwest.social 10 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I use a dash of cheese in the flap and then I throw it on the griddle

On this episode of redundant inventions that already have a better solution...

[-] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 9 months ago

Wouldn't your hand work really well to keep the burrito closed while you're eating it?

[-] explodicle@local106.com 7 points 9 months ago

But that's like a two-hand job now, and I've got this drink.

[-] Guntrigger@feddit.ch 13 points 9 months ago

Two hand jobs and a drink? Sounds like you don't mind making a mess.

It’s called not using a cold ass tortilla

[-] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 14 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

a properly constructed burrito is wrapped in aluminum foil and can be eaten, even while walking, without making a mess.

edible tape sounds like something with useful applications, but i am sad for the people who believe burritos require this.

[-] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 8 points 9 months ago

A proper burrito stays closed without foil, a steamed tortilla should get sticky enough.

If your burrito doesn't stay closed, the person making your burrito had no idea what the hell they were doing. This is a Chipotle problem.

Who the fuck doesn't know how to hold a burrito?

Corporate food has created unholy tasteless dry abominations called "tortillas". They have convinced Americans that this is what tortillas are. They have played us for absolute fools.

Real tortillas are freshly made wet dough immediately squished and cooked before forming burrito. They are delicious and sticky enough to hold on their own. It's perfect but not mass producible.

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

[-] doingthestuff@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago

Because I have opposable thumbs and have successfully eaten thousands of burritos without tape.

I like Nori, but that's a whole different flavour profile to most burritos

All zippers are edible if you're very careful

This is why it's important to have a diverse college campus.

[-] platypode@sh.itjust.works 8 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

My general rule of thumb is that I don’t eat Mexican food in places where there aren’t many Mexican people.
