Section 3: The Art of Burrito Wrapping

The Ancient Burritos of the Ancients

Legend has it that the art of burrito wrapping was born in the mystical land of Tacobalonia, where the gods of tortilla, rice, and fillings roamed the earth.

  2. 2 parts beans to 1 part meat
  3. 1 part cheese to 3 parts guacamole
