Mission burrito

The Mission burrito is associated with San Francisco’s Mission District and its Latino food culture. It is a generously filled burrito, commonly combining meat, beans, rice, pico de gallo, sour cream and guacamole. San Francisco Travel describes this combination as one of the neighbourhood’s characteristic foods.[1]

The fillings are enclosed in a tortilla, with foil wrapping common in the city’s burrito shops. Rice is frequent but not universal: the tourism association identifies La Taqueria’s version as rice-free. A dorado preparation receives extra time on a flat-top griddle to crisp its surface.[2]
