Eh. A burrito is the superior vehicle to get 1500 calories in you to power through the next 4-8 hours of bullshit, preferably with a base of beans. A taco is a lower calorie, smaller option that provides an opportunity for the cook to show off their filler of choice. I like tacos at a party cuz I can have 5-10 (variety!) over the course of the evening without feeling like I'm exploding. Plus I only like pico in tacos, never burritos. Fucks up the texture.
Tacos are also closer to indigenous whereas burritos are a product of capitalism/immigration/worker exploitation
the burrito was invented in the central valley of california by latino fieldworkers as a portable way to get half a day's calories in one tasty tube. the taco has its roots in precolombian mesoamerica
American tacos are so far removed from anything mesoamerican indigenous peoples used to eat or eat nowadays that they might as well be Chicago deep dish pizza.
"American tacos" is super vague. Are we talking about suburban ones made from the ethnic aisle of the walmart, hard shells and all? The ones where American restaurants try to get creative and basically scoop a cupful of soup on the tortilla? Both of those, obviously :gulag:. But is there anything I'm missing out on eating (CW carnism)

meat
and maybe onion/cilantro on a corn tortilla?

there's a hundred stories about where they come from and probably none of them are strictly true.
the burrito is literally a bigger taco wrapped around all the way around, it shares the same pedigree of precolombian meat-wrapping. if the introduction of wheat tarnishes the traditional cred of the burrito ig every dish that includes an ingredient from both america and afroeurasia is inauthentic
which is bad news for 90% of corn tortilla taco fillings
Burrito bowls > burritos
Skip out on the calorically inefficient tortilla, plus you can mix the contents properly, and it's not as messy to eat
The worst burrito is better than the worst taco, but the best taco is better than the best burrito.
Al Pastor is the best meat choice for both. There is nothing to discuss.
Laughs in Northern Mexico where both are great
This is some
ass shit. They’re both good. Who cares what other people are eating and enjoying? Put the beans in whatever size tortilla and eat it.idc as long as they're soft shell. then what is even the difference...
I put some of both on my plate because I am the treat king
