Yes, but you still have to cook the soft tortillas, even for a few seconds in a pan or on the grill.
Big pet peeve of mine is when people just serve them raw right out of the package.
on this note, corn tortillas are the only way. flour tortillas are an abomination
Ehhhh depends on the application. Corn tortillas 100 percent are better for tacos.
For fajitas or burritos, flour tortillas work better, but you have to COOK them...preferably charred for a few seconds on the grill.3 -

Rice is not inherent in the definition of "burrito". It's a cheap filler that the chains like to put in to bulk out the offering.
Opinion: Good burritos are good. Good tacos are good (I prefer soft corn, by far: hard is just an excuse to eat chips, and I'd rather have good nachos or chip-substrate botana or tostada instead). Good enchiladas are good.
Tautologies? Sure. But don't blame the category (e.g., burrito) for stupid variants (e.g., excess rice).5 -

Yeah, for sure no rice in burritos...that's just something Chipotle does to make them bigger. More authentic burritos are very good.3 -

Wow I just looked up the difference and realized I’ve been having burritos my whole life, never tacos. I always called them soft shelled tacos, but by definition they are burrito because of how I wrap them.0 -
Everyone should be eating tofu. No excuses.1

So I had chipotle today... Their salads and tacos are so under rated. The burritos and bowls are overrated1

I love tofu and have several containers of different kinds. Although there may be people sensitive to soy, it often gets a false bad rap. The processed, GMO soy products and isolates with hexane are the issue. NOT tofu, tempeh, edamame.
MILK- dairy is NOT for humans.4 -

My Northern European ancestors have been consuming dairy foods for at least centuries, probably millennia, and thriving: Definitely long enough for natural selection to ensure that I'm fully capable of metabolizing it. None of them ate tofu, tempeh, or edamame. **
** But I eat those anyway, because humans are adaptable, flexible, natural omnivores. (I'm not an ominvore, personally, either. 😉)
Gonna keep right on eating the dairy, and the tofu, tempeh, and edamame.9 -

Soy allergies.
I used to eat tofu... now I can't without getting really sick and being in pain.
So there are excuses.5 -
I try to stay away from foods that scream SOY because of breast cancer in the family even tho I'm never sure if I need to.1

That's probably reasonably common. I don't dislike milk, but I also just have no desire to drink it, so it's totally not worth the cals. I love cottage cheese, yogurt, cheese, sour cream (and co-sign Ann's post re dairy and humans).
On tofu, I eat it sometimes, and think there are plenty of tasty dishes that include it, but on it's own it's just completely bland -- I neither like nor dislike it (I like that it's plant-based protein, though). I am generally pro tofu, but if I were not able to ever eat it again, I wouldn't really miss it.5 -

and who's to say that we SHOULD be blending up soybeans and drinking their milk? Or making yogurt and cheese out of cashews and coconut?7 -
People with Milk allergies, digestive issues and the hormones. My ancestors are from Sicily. Cheese? Then and there, perhaps. Today in the USA...nope. Of course everyone will disagree. Cheese, cream, yogurt taste great.
Also, there is nothing wrong with anyone's personal preference. This is about unpopular opinions. All the disagrees were expected. The soy comment " motivated" me 😂😂2 -
Well I'm on a ketogenic diet, which is fantastic for me. Many of my friends tell me it's a fad diet, that they don't trust any diet that limits fruit, that I'm doing damage to my body, and so on. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but if I disagree with your diet and it is working for you, I won't shame you for it. Live and let live!1

Liver is one of my favorite foods, I'd rather eat it any day over muscle meat. Floral flavors like lavender, rose, hibiscus are amazing. Artificial cherry is delicious and I've never thought 'cough syrup".
I dislike pasta, I only eat it because everyone else loves it but I'd rather eat anything else. It tastes meh and the texture is ick. Only things I actually enjoy once in awhile are lasagna, Mac and cheese and gnocchi, But honestly could live without them. Ranch dressing is disgusting.
Bread is just uncooked toast0 -
(Most) white bread is boring and just there to carry the flavour of whatever stuff you put on it.
This may not be an unpopular opinion where I am from (Germany, where rye sourdough and mixed sourdough breads are the norm) , but seems to be one where I live. ( NZ, where even the "wholemeal bread" seems awfully pale to me. But they somehow have a whole big shelve of white and white-ish cut bread from several brands in the supermarket.)4 -

Sooooooo whats stopping you from baking your own "proper" bread?
And any bread is just a base for the toppings.
Not a bad question. 🙂
Have done it in the past, but if is not as easy as going to the next supermarket, getting ingredients, and having a bread in a few hours.
Finding rye flour is hard. And it also is surprisingly expensive whenever I manage to find it.(not "you cannot buy this" expensive, but still a bit annoying.)
I have to set up the sourdough, so if I want bread now it will be a few days (at best) till I actually have it.
(I have to get over the fact that the crust is never as perfect as from bakery bread, because at that point I am just whining.)
----
Also, especially fresh dark sourdough is something I happily eat without any toppings. It's got a nice taste on it's own. - But it's ok if you disagree. This whole thread is not exactly for opinions others are supposed to agree on, is it?9 -

honestly for me it is more "if it didn't have CHEMICALS or not" rather than the calories haha2 -

Its funny how we can always find a reason or two why NOT to do something hahaha
But if you really miss that bread, source the ingredients, make the started and keep it. As long as you feed it, it will live forever. Flour, I bet you can find it for a decent price if you actually look, and just in the store how bad do you miss the bread
And I dont disagree at all. I fully agree. Also why I never ever buy that sorry excuse for bread. To me there is nothing better than home baked bread and nice good quality butter, plus some flaky salt. We used to have thread about "so I was going to bake my first bread".
Agree about home-baked bread: I started because I have to watch my salt intake and commercial bread can be high in sodium. First loaves were very sad, but after keeping at it, I can pull out a decent hunk of bread. I don't go the sourdough route because I know I'd forget to take care of it and it would suffer; but you don't need sour dough to come up with a flavorful levener: just make a biga, and that'll do you nicely.2 -
cold oatmeal > hot
oatmeal with a ton of toppings is gross0 -

Agreed. Chocolate and hazelnut done right would be a Ferrero Rocher or two, or four, or ...4 -
I dislike... no, hate is the right word... mustard: yellow mustard, spicy mustard, Dijon mustard, Grey Poupon (something did!), any kind of mustard...
Even a dab of mustard the size of a mustard seed is too much for me!2
