Mission Burrito

Cultural Context

The Mission Burrito originated in the Mission District of San Francisco in the 1980s, becoming a symbol of California's burrito culture. Known for its large size and diverse fillings, it reflects the fusion of traditional Mexican cuisine with American fast food. Today, the Mission Burrito has gained popularity beyond California, inspiring variations across the United States and around the world.

1

Start by making pico de gallo: dice about 10-15 roma tomatoes, removing the juice to avoid a watery salsa.

2

Add 2 cups of diced onions to the tomatoes, then squeeze in lime juice to taste.

3

Add 3 dashes of Tabasco sauce for spice, and season with salt.

4

Chop fresh parsley and mix it into the pico de gallo instead of cilantro.

5

Taste the pico de gallo and adjust lime and spice as needed, adding pickled jalapenos if desired.

6

Prepare the avocado by cutting it in half, twisting to remove the pit, and dicing it in the shell before scooping it out.

7

Assemble the burrito by placing the sizzle and smoked beef, onions, avocado, and refried beans in the center of a tortilla.

8

Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to enclose the filling.

9

Grill the burrito on a hot grill or in a dry frying pan, flipping to ensure it is heated through and slightly crispy on the outside.

10

Serve the burrito and enjoy, optionally cutting it open to show the filling.
