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?

    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 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.
