How Do You Build a Burrito?

El Camion
So, I'm doing some research and looking for advice on how to build a burrito. What type of tortillas do you prefer? What are some of the fillings and how do you load the burrito? Do you brown the burrito in a pan after it has been filled and before itis served? Or, do you justload it, wrap it and hand it off?

I'm sure there is an authentic approach to burrito building, but I haven't exactly discovered that yet. I do know that burritos are very handy to have around when a teenage boy goes through a growth spurt. We've been going through a lot of tortillas and fillings in my house lately. Yesterday, I spontaneously decided to do a little off site burrito research.

At Home Depot there is a Mexican food truck called El Camion. I've passed this immaculate black truck many times while getting supplies, but yesterday I decided to power up my son with a burrito before he tackled his to do list for the day. When we got up to the window at El Camion, I was impressed at how tidy and immaculate the interior of the kitchen was. We surveyed the menu and could have ordered tacos, gorditas, or tortas, but my son opted for a vegetarian burrito. (He normally opts for meat, so I had to do a double take on the order.)

Wow. The foil-wrapped burrito was massive, and my son was immediately impressed by the mere heft of the package. After a single bite, he declared it the best burrito ever! Stuffed with rice, black beans, roasted peppers, onions, cheese and fresh cilantro, it was indeed excellent and incredibly filling, fresh,and nutritious for a mere $6. El Camion has received high praise from folks around town. I can see why.

So, this brings me back to my questions. How do you build and judge a burrito? For me, I think the first step is finding the massive tortillas that they use at El Camion...
