There are many Mexican dishes that people love and return to their favorite restaurants to enjoy again and again. However, two dishes continually top the Mexican food charts: tacos and burritos. Among the many offerings of Mexican cuisine, these two are easily the most famous and the most popular. But how do they stack up against each other as meal choices? Do you have a preference, or are you more of a Mexican food universalist?
Let’s compare these two titans of Mexican food to help you decide whether you want tacos or a burrito next time you visit California Burritos.
Load It Up
It’s impossible to pinpoint any one reason why we love tacos and burritos, but one of the biggest reasons is that you can load them with ingredients. Whatever protein, vegetables, sauces, and other toppings you like, you can put them all on your taco or in your burrito. Because loading your taco or burrito up with ingredients is part of the appeal, we have to consider which can take more. If you put too many toppings on a taco, you can end up with most of them on your plate. Burritos can take more, but if you overdo it, your tortilla will break, which can be a bit of a mess.
Eat on the Go
Both burritos and tacos began their culinary lives as street food, so they’re supposed to be eaten on the go. But which is easier to grab and go? Burritos may have the edge here. Wrapped in a tortilla, your fillings are contained in a compact meal, while tacos are a little messier. We’ve all had the experience of taking the first bite of a taco and watching some of the toppings fall out of the other end. With a burrito, it’s also easier to get a bigger meal into a portable package.
The Verdict: What’s Your Favorite Mexican Food?
