r/burritos

At Juanberto’s in Roma. Insanely good.

Some leftovers made a great burrito!

I cooked this on Saturday. My daughter had some friends over and I asked her to pick a dish to cook. Burritos it was.

Looked easy enough. Until I read the fine print.

The fine print: Burrito Recipe (p210) needs shredded beef right? Yeah that's another recipe on page 208. It also needs some kind of cooked rice. That's the Mexican red-rice recipe on page 223. Oh and you need some sort of a sauce to serve it with right? Lime Crema on page 219.

So I'd set out to tick one recipe, I actually had to do 4. A 4-for-1. I can do that. And I did.

Difficulty: 4/10 - Adding 1 for shredding what felt like a metric-ton of beef. Good thing I've been hitting the gym lately. Adding another difficulty point for the actual assembly and rolling of the burritos. I let my wife sub in for this one after I tore two of them. Adding a 3rd and final difficulty point for the fact that this is an all-afternooner dish. One does not "just" decide at 6pm that they'll make burritos for dinner.

Family rating: 9/10 - This was actually an 8.5 on the night but turned into a 9.5 the next day (yes I made enough for like 14x burritos). Main difference was that we incorporate the lime crema (fabulous 10/10 dish on its own) into the burritos instead of as a dipping sauce.

From a food truck that came by our apartment a few years ago. Burrito was so big it was cut in half to fit into the to go container. Easily fed 2. Can’t remember the exact price but remember it being very reasonable around $15.

Sadly does not look like they are still around 😭

Picked it up at a truck stop.

Are burritos just a big Mexican Sushi Roll? 🤔

Chain restaurant up here in western Canada. Unfortunately there's nothing here like the burritos I love in SD. $16 for this is a decent deal compared to other restaurants I'd think.
