Whether you're craving something filling for breakfast, rushing through your lunch break or sitting down with friends at dinner, a burrito is a smart choice any time of the day. It’s one of the most popular and recognizable types of Mexican food and makes for a versatile meal with many topping options. However, its appeal lies beyond its mealtime versatility.

Why Burritos Make the Perfect Meal

1. Portable

When you're running late, a burrito makes it easy for you to eat on the go. Thanks to its neatly wrapped design, you don’t have to fuss around with a cumbersome take-out tray and utensils. Just use your hands!

2. Diverse

Worried about getting all your nutrients? Just like enchiladas, fajitas, and many other types of Mexican food, burritos have you covered. At its most basic, it’s a tortilla filled with beans, rice, lettuce, salsa, cheese, and meat. This ensures you get some carbohydrates, vegetables, dairy, fats, and protein all in one bite!

3. Customizable

Not a meat-eater? Want more cheese? If the standard burrito leaves something to be desired, it’s easy to add or remove certain ingredients. Unlike other dishes with an elaborate, multi-tiered cooking process, assembling a burrito is easy and the restaurant will accommodate your preferences. If you’re someone who adds extra guacamole to everything, go right ahead!

4. Easy Leftovers

Because they’re so jam-packed, many people find burritos worthy of multiple servings. Thankfully, their deliciousness carries over to the next meal or even the next day.

5. Less Messy

Because one end stays sealed, eating a burrito is usually a neater process than eating something like a burger or sandwich. Even if you’ve ordered extra guacamole and sour cream, neither of those items will drip down the other side as you bite it.
