I’m going to say, “no”. I like beans and rice as a side for tacos, but for some reason, rice in a burrito just feels wrong to me. Opinions?

I live in a place with a LOT of Mexican folks, and they happen to operate a lot of taco trucks around the area. Muy authentico. They put beans and rice, a massive pile of your meat of choice, onions cilantro and cheese. It’s a burrito the size of a small child, wrapped in a tortilla the size of a small blanket.
If the people whose culture the noble burrito hails from decide to put rice in it, the answer is yes. Rice belongs in burritos. We gringos just need to say gracias when we pick up our order and deal with it.
I kinda hate rice because I worked at place like that and they told us it was a price saver/ filler. Honestly though, that’s every peasant dish that’s become popular. When I’d make my lunch, I always subbed the rice for pico. I’m trying to get more into the rice on burritos, though.
fuck I miss taco trucks
In SD county/ Riverside we still have a bunch. BBQ trucks are becoming a lot more popular, though.
Yeah, they’re selling you American burritos. They derived from a Mexican dish, but they have as much in common with the original as American pizza does with Italian.
You made all this up. Rice is a popular ingredient in a ton of authentic Mexican food including burritos.

I’m from mexico and yes, rice is a very common in mexican food, but not in burritos, except in american style burritos (which are very good with rice)
¿Nunca has comido un burrito con arroz rojo?
No, solo con arroz blanco, en chihuahua nadie le pone arroz a los burritos
The fuck you smoking. You can find burritos with rice all over Mexico
They are literally Mexican people. The burrito is fucking Mexican. Seeth all you like.
I’m not seething, you weirdo. I can get General Tso’s made by a Chinese guy, or a California roll made by a Japanese guy, too. Doesn’t make it authentic national cuisine.
I get what you’re saying and agree a little but it takes like two second to do a web search and see burritos con arroz is a fairly common recipe in Latin America.
