What's In Your Burrito?

A fine succulent burrito, filled with fine burrito fillings.

Rice, black beans and cheese topping the poll seems right. They are the most ever-constant elements.

The burrito I just ate (having made a number yesterday) was chicken tinga (which I have kind of got down to a science, I honestly believe I can make it restaurant grade with my stupid Instant Pot), with thai jasmine rice (washed a Japanese number of times), air-fried sliced bell peppers (olive oil, black pepper, a little garlic powder and salt on them), chopped red onion (didn't use enough but oh well) and good-quality British mature cheddar (which works incredibly well with Mexican food for some reason - it does not work as well with say, Italian or Italian-American cooking).

Weirdly, while I love fish tacos, it has never even occurred to me to put fish in a burrito.

So, I'll note that I have two different burrito orders - one for breakfast, and one for lunch or dinner. Lunch is generally black or refried beans with pork al pastor (or chicken, depending on if they're using thighs or breast meat), rice, and onions. Maybe bell peppers or other chilies (probably something on the Serrano end), and whatever salsa they consider their 4 out of 5.

Breakfast is with scrambled eggs, chorizo, potatoes, onions and bell peppers or diced chiles, with the 4 out of 5 salsa. Maybe some diced tomatoes.

As someone born and raised within historic Hispanidad, I can confirm that chedder is simply part of Mexican cuisine (or at least the Northwestern corner of autentico Mexican cuisine that is in the Southwestern USA).

It fits so well flavour-profile-wise it seems like it should be, so that makes sense!

If there's a Rubio's in your area (probably not, they're having financial troubles and contracting), it's well worth checking them out.

Wrong coast!

"Sir, what do you want in your burrito?" the employee said as he motioned across the dozens of possible condiments.

I leaned against the counter, trying to look cool. "Yes," I said with confidence and a glint of gluttony in my eyes.
