There’s nothing quite like the feeling of holding a warm, weighty burrito in your hands as you anticipate the delicious combination of flavors and textures that await you just beyond the aluminum foil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A perfect burrito is a mouth-watering symphony of flavors and textures that simultaneously satisfies the stomach and the soul. But not everyone agrees on what ingredients equal burrito perfection. We wanted to spill the (refried) beans on how American burrito preferences vary from state to state. From proteins to bean and veggie preferences, we left no tortilla unturned to uncover how residents of every U.S. state take their burritos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So get ready to sink your teeth into the results and read on to see if your idea of burrito nirvana aligns with your state’s favorite ingredient combination!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you know the word “burrito” means “little donkey” in Spanish? Legend has it that burritos’ portable, hearty nature and ability to hold hefty ingredient quantities were compared early on to how a donkey carries a heavy load, and the name stuck! But, as you can see from our map, Americans aren’t exactly on the same page about just what ingredients should be rolled up in a tortilla and called a burrito, or how spicy said burrito should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, there’s one thing every state agrees on when it comes to burrito base ingredients: rice definitely isn’t optional!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burrito #1 is the national favorite, with 18 states opting for a burrito with chicken, black beans, and rice as base layer ingredients. Next, tied at second place and each a favorite combo in eight states, comes burrito #6 (ground beef, refried beans, and rice) and burrito #3 (steak, black beans, and rice).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turns out the least popular burrito base layer combinations are burritos #2 (chicken, refried beans, and rice) and #5 (ground beef, black beans, and rice).<\/p>\n\n\n
