Classic Burrito Recipes

The classic burrito might not be the most emblematic dish of Mexican cuisine, but it certainly is a fan favorite. Chipotle and Taco Bell are at the ready to supply us with burritos, but you can make classic burrito recipes at home without too much effort required.

There are two kinds of burritos in the world: Mission-style burritos and authentic burritos. In the United States, Mission-style burritos generally consist of a lightly steamed or grilled tortilla filled with rice, beans, meat, cheese, guacamole, salsa, and sour cream. In Mexico, burritos are often filled simply with refried beans and meat.

The Daily Meal has rounded up our favorite renditions of classic burritos served around the country. From the unorthodox breakfast burrito, which welcomes the addition of chorizo, pinto beans, and rice for the perfect morning treat, to the classic bean and cheese burrito, which honors the simple tradition of a meal rolled in a soft flour tortilla, we have the classic burrito recipes that will convince you that homemade is better than your favorite fast food chain.

If you're looking for a basic burrito that you can build upon or make without too much fuss, try this recipe.
