Why Original Burritos Look Like Cigars

In America, burritos are usually massive, stuffed with rice, beans, cheese, meat, and every topping imaginable. But the original burrito from Juárez, Mexico is something very different.

Long. Skinny. Minimal. Just a thick, pillowy flour tortilla filled with perfectly stewed meat and a smear of rich, creamy pinto beans.

In this episode, we’re making Burritos Juárez completely from scratch; slow braised pork in red chiles, creamy refried beans made from dried pintos, and soft handmade flour tortillas cooked hot and fast until they puff and blister.
