Our Best Ideas for Burritos

When you think about Mexican cuisine in America, burritos are likely one of the first dishes that come to mind. They're a hearty and filling dish—and super easy to make. Once you learn how to roll one, you'll be stuffing tortillas with everything from chicken and steak to scrambled eggs. Burritos make for a simple meal that can be eaten with one hand, which means less dishes and easier cleanup overall. If you're looking for a few recipes to get you started (including a few burrito-inspired bowls), we've rounded up our favorites right here, starting with Marcela's take. This fun burrito recipe is the perfect grab-and-go dish to feed a crowd. Marinated beef gets cooked until fork-tender with onions, peppers, chiles and garlic, then shredded and served alongside warm tortillas.

Breakfast Burrito

We love burritos because they’re a portable way to enjoy a meal—whether it’s dinner or breakfast. Wrapping all the ingredients in a tortilla helps keep all the ingredients warm while allowing the flavors to mingle together. Juicy Pico de Gallo helps add fresh, vibrant and bright flavor to this simple breakfast burrito.

Chipotle-Inspired Vegetarian Burrito Bowl

This homemade take on Chipotle’s sofritas is made from crumbled tofu simmered in a spicy Poblano sauce. It’s not just for vegetarians—even the meat lovers in your life will find this dish hard to resist. We serve the mixture in bowl form with brown rice, black beans, Pico de Gallo and lettuce, but it’s also great as a taco or burrito filling.
