If the burrito doesn’t have rice, I don’t want it. My hometown of Oakland, California is just a 15 minute drive to the origins of the mission burrito. Where I’m from a burrito with rice is the standard. Imagine my surprise when I took y first trip to Mexico, only to find beans and chicken soiling out. Gross!!! In my mind, the mission burrito was the only way to make a burrito. I had no idea this wasn’t normal.
The Mission Burrito originates in the Mission District of San Francisco. You’ll find the best burritos as mom&pop Taqueria’s or taco trucks. Because its origins are so close to my home, there are very few times I’ve come across a burritos without rice or guac. I hope it says that way.
Recently, a friend of mine posted a picture of his burrito on social media. The burrito looked amazing to me, minus the big bite taken out of it. When I looked at the caption, it stated “who puts rice in a burrito.” Obviously, I had to respond telling him this was the highest form of burrito. He responded with “Gross!!!”
