Learn to wrap your burritos you suckface food noob.

This is only a problem if you can't roll a burrito...
and for the gluttons who overstuff their burritos so they're difficult to keep closed.
Guilty. It's not about the amount I want to eat, it's about reaching my ideal burrito/stuffing ratio.
When someone says their burritos won't stay shut I immediately know that they don't know what they're doing.
I bought a master lock for my burrito, it can be opened with another burrito.
Is this a common problem? I've almost never had a burrito fall apart on me unless it outright rips--I once made the mistake of ordering a burrito in Scotland, and that was pretty formless, but it was also less a burrito and more an embarrassment hiding under an ill-fitting tortilla.
My general rule of thumb is that I don’t eat Mexican food in places where there aren’t many Mexican people.
I know next to nothing about Hispanic food in general, but I've gotten a few food truck burritos in southern California and it opening was not on my list of concerns.
Pan-sear your burritos shut.
If you are still having a hard time, a thin layer of cheese to form a crust seal never fails
At work we just lick one edge of the tortilla like an envelope before we serve it
I like to crisp up my burrito in a pan after I roll it. if you brown the side with the opening first then the juices trying to escape soften up the tortilla enough to get cooked together. It's like welding a burrito shut.
Wouldn't your hand work really well to keep the burrito closed while you're eating it?
Why not use a small piece of Nori (the salty Sushi seaweed) and moisten it up with water and use that?
I did this for years
Because I have opposable thumbs and have successfully eaten thousands of burritos without tape.
I like Nori, but that's a whole different flavour profile to most burritos
You're telling me this ain't nori? Why.
I feel like nori would work, no?
Right? Japan has only been doing this for 1,200 years or so.
On this episode of redundant inventions that already have a better solution...
"Edible" does not mean "good".
The sticker on most fruits sold in American grocery stores that contains a bar code is nominally edible.
My ass is nominally edible.
Uhhhhh, fuck no. Some children invented this shit back in 1999. It was on Figure it Out. How fucking dare you.
Call me up when they invent edible zippers.
I remember an episode of figure it out on nickelodeon a long time ago that was exactly this.
- have good technique
- really big tortillas
- you can wrap it in foil
a properly constructed burrito is wrapped in aluminum foil and can be eaten, even while walking, without making a mess.
edible tape sounds like something with useful applications, but i am sad for the people who believe burritos require this.
Yeah, but now I can't open it up to make sure that no one cummed in my burrito...
If your burrito doesn't stay closed, the person making your burrito had no idea what the hell they were doing. This is a Chipotle problem.
Who the fuck doesn't know how to hold a burrito?
Corporate food has created unholy tasteless dry abominations called "tortillas". They have convinced Americans that this is what tortillas are. They have played us for absolute fools.
Real tortillas are freshly made wet dough immediately squished and cooked before forming burrito. They are delicious and sticky enough to hold on their own. It's perfect but not mass producible.
