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

Yeah you have to heat up the shell a little. Even the barrel-scraping Target store brand burritos can work if you steam/nuke them the right amount.

The amount of cracking in that pic indicates they took that shell right out of the fridge and rolled.

Who cares if a fork tier burrito stays closed or not? It’s already on a plate.

The entire thread conversation is clearly not about plated burritos.

Well, if you were eating it with a fork anyway the I don't see the problem... A lot of Mexican places (as opposed to Tex Mex) will also pou salsa or queso or something over the burrito, which then obviously requires a fork, but it's also different from the burrito pictured.

And you know you can just ask them not to put any cilantro on? It's a garnish that typically isn't added until the very end and a lot of people can't stand the stuff, they probably won't mind leaving it off

Neither? The whole point of a burrito, at least one of these style of burrito that isn't swimming in some kind of sauce, is that it holds together well enough that you can eat it while holding it in your hand without making a mess. If it's poorly wrapped then yeah it'll come apart and you might want a plate and flatware to finish the job.
