It’s Cinco de Mayo, and that means it’s time to for us to celebrate! And what better way than to enjoy a good and authentic burrito! But what denotes a good and authentic burrito you ask?

Well, when looking for the authentic burrito, keep in mind that a burrito might not be even be on the menu. In all actuality, burritos don’t even exist in authentic Mexican cuisine. Instead, it’s called a Taco de Harina, which features a steamed or lightly grilled tortilla with ONLY refried beans or meat (as opposed to the US version which generally includes a combination of ingredients).

Additionally, while places like Chipotle do offer DELICIOUS burritos, these are not even CLOSE to authentic. Think of Chipotle as the fast-food version of your local Mexican restaurant. Even traditional American burritos don’t usually contain white rice, but I will admit that they do have GREAT steak and barbacoa.

And if you are just looking for quality, I personally look for the following credentials:

1. The fresher the better. Even if I generally don’t like a certain fruit or vegetable, I find that trying something fresh can completely change the way I feel about it. The same applies towards burritos. While I enjoy any tortilla stuffed with steak, beans, rice and hot sauce, having fresh salsa, juicy meat, and soft rice and beans makes a world of difference.
2. Flavor is the most important. Sometimes, you can have fresh ingredients, and it STILL doesn’t taste right. They key is finding what you like. I’m not a fan of pico de gallo, so I generally veer more towards places that have a great chipotle sauce or tomatillo salsa. I also very much enjoy meat that is very juicy, but remains unseasoned. Regardless, every single ingredient in a burrito is extremely important, and only when you find the combination and quality of ingredients that you like can you consider your burrito great.

What makes a burrito great for you?
