If there is a dish of Mexican origin that has maintained the same degree of popularity and appeal as a taco, it’s probably the burrito. Interestingly, the word translates to “little donkey” and the name may have been derived from the packs that donkeys were often seen carrying. At its essence the word has come to describe “a rolled, warm tortilla with food inside of it”. Though its roots are Mexican, there is little evidence to determine where the modern burrito originated from.

Today burritos are enjoy by millions of people. In fact, it’s estimated that Americans consume roughly 380+ million burritos every month. After all, they’re incredibly delicious whether they’re eaten dry, wet, baked, grilled, or deep friend into chimichangas. With the fillings and combinations being virtually limitless, there are just a couple of simple rules to make your burrito perfect.

Always go for the best shell. The best tasting burritos typically use flour instead of corn tortillas since their pliability is better and corn tortillas have a tendency of cracking. You’ll also want to make sure that you don’t overstuff your burrito so stick to adding filling to only one quarter of the tortilla. You can find plenty of videos online on how to best wrap one so that it doesn’t fall apart.

For the most nutritious and flavorful burritos, refrain from adding lots of filler ingredients and instead choose items like plant proteins, beans, and vegetables that are nutrient dense.

There may come a moment where you end with some leftover tortillas that you purchased for dinner or as a last minute ingredient for those guests you weren’t expecting. You don’t necessarily need to throw these tortillas out; you can use them to make a quick snack called Peor es Nada which amusingly translates to “Worse is Nothing”. It’s perfect for lunch for two people or just about any time of day when time is limited, here’s what you’ll need:

• Six corn tortillas cut into triangle slices of six or eight
• Hot sauce (whichever you consider your favorite)
• Half of a small, chopped onion
• Salt and pepper for the taste
• Three eggs
• Two butter pats

Grab a skillet and add the butter and onions, sweating them over low-medium heat until tender and then remove them. Turn up the heat to medium and add the tortillas, seasoning them with the salt and pepper and then frying them until they’re brown and a tad crispy.

Beat two eggs and also season them with the salt and pepper before pouring them into the pan. Mix everything together and continue stirring until the eggs have been cooked to your preference. Move the mixture over to a plate, throw in some hot sauce and you’re ready to enjoy!
