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 1 year 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.

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

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 48 points 1 year ago

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

[-] tias@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 1 year ago

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

Tell that to every Mexican joint nearby that stuffs their burritos so full the moment you fork into it they explode in a overly soapy mess from all the cilantro.

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.

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 1 year ago

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

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 33 points 1 year ago

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

I know next to nothing about Hispanic food in general, but I've gotten a few food truck burritos in southern California and it opening was not on my list of concerns.

Pan-sear your burritos shut.

[-] UsernameIsTooLon@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

I feel like nori would work, no?

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Right? Japan has only been doing this for 1,200 years or so.

[-] Nikls94@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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 29 points 1 year 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

[-] fidodo@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

That's what this looks like

[-] Gladaed@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago

You're telling me this ain't nori? Why.

"Edible" does not mean "good".

[-] NateNate60@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

The sticker on most fruits sold in American grocery stores that contains a bar code is nominally edible.

[-] Iapar@feddit.de 15 points 1 year ago

My ass is nominally edible.

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.

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.

That's not a burrito, that's a clutch purse. Learn how to roll a burrito.

[-] pigup@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

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.
