Don't forget to wrap your burrito in foil immediately after you take it off the skillet. It's a crucial step. It steams the tortilla and makes it softer and less likely to break as well. Game changer for homemade burritos.

Since I’m also a member of ‘cilantro tastes like soap’ club I must say the phrase “Devil’s Lettuce” is *perfect!* It will now become a permanent part of my working vocabulary.

Personally, I've gotten so accustomed to just asking for avocado instead if possible that I even go with diced avocado in my burritos at home most of the time, even though I could make my own cilantro-free guacamole.

I've been using homefries in my burritos for years!! didn't know it was a specific style to do that till now, but I highly suggest it. the crunch of the potatoes adds such a pleasant texture variation that just isn't present with a pile of rice

"Aggressively Taste test" I love that phrase.

Love how you moved the jalapeno when it stood straight up... :)

Babish definitely convinced me to buy Cheese-it Snapds. Great munchies.

"Especially if you're grown man and you start to cry" hahaha this got me.

This should be the next one in Botched by Babish. Asada literally means "grilled", the steak should be done in the grill.

You're right in terms of the translation of Asada, but go to most taco shops in Southern CA and their "Carne Asada" is cooked on a flat top, so within the context of a "Cali/California burrito", his technique is correct. With that said, I agree that if you're trying to do authentic carne asada, it should be on a grill.

For the red and green chiles, you can put them in the broiler OR you can boil them until their colors change, that works too. I hear others grill their veggies beforehand but idk how to feel about grilling tomatillos or garlic

That was a crucial step here. As a San Diegan we have VERY strict guidelines on the California burrito. That's what year was about a third too small. The steak should be marinated uncut, and cut much smaller no red showing. I don't think that was the right cheese either. No shame in a guy in New York City trying to make an extremely particular local dish though. Most of the country gets this much more off the mark.

Moved out of San Diego after 12 years, this is my most missed food for sure!!!!

Hey any chances you could try tackle Nasi Lemak from Malaysia? It's basically the national food here and I would love for more people to learn it as well. It's basically santan (coconut milk) rice, ikan bilis (anchovies), sambal, an egg (either hard boiled and quartered or fried), cucumbers and maybe a piece of fried chicken.

@@Wormworttea some people are genetically pre-disposed to where cilantro tastes like soap to them. That much cilantro would basically be like eating a cheesy bar of soap with extra liquid soap on top of it, all of it smelling like tasty burrito and citrusy scented, but still tasting terrible. I believe that is the same case with those litmus paper tests, where you're given a paper that to few people tastes bitter and terrible, but to most people just tastes like paper, thus the term: "Litmus Test" Therefore, Babish literally fails the litmus test.
