Burritos are a staple of Mexican cuisine and are popular choices for both on-the-go and sit-down dining. Besides being convenient and delicious, they’re also versatile. The combinations of fillings are as diverse as the people who enjoy them. However, some burrito fillings are more popular than others, so we’re going to look at three perennial favorites.
What do you like in your burrito? Here’s a dive into three popular choices.
Carne Asada
First up, the classic: carne asada. This mouthwatering filling features marinated and grilled steak, thinly sliced and bursting with savory juices. Seasoned to perfection with a blend of spices, garlic, and lime juice, carne asada brings a bold and robust flavor to every bite. Paired with rice, beans, and a medley of fresh toppings like salsa, guacamole, and cilantro, it’s a timeless choice that never fails to satisfy.
Carnitas
Next, we have the ever-popular carnitas. Slow-cooked to tender perfection, carnitas boasts succulent shredded pork infused with aromatic spices such as cumin, oregano, and garlic. The result is a melt-in-your-mouth filling that’s rich in flavor and irresistibly juicy. Whether wrapped in a warm tortilla alongside black beans, rice, and tangy salsa verde or piled high in a bowl with all the fixings, carnitas is a surefire crowd-pleaser.
Grilled Chicken
Finally, if you prefer a lighter option, we have grilled chicken. Tender, juicy chicken breast marinated in a zesty blend of citrus, herbs, and spices brings flavor to what we sometimes consider a “boring” option. Grilled to perfection, chicken adds a satisfying protein boost to your burrito while remaining wonderfully moist and flavorful. Pair it with black beans, cilantro-lime rice, crisp lettuce, and your choice of salsa for a wholesome and delicious meal that’s as satisfying as it is nutritious.
