VeganMoFo 2015 - Day 30: Fusion challenge. Vietnamese crystal spring rolls with an Indian style coriander mint dressing. I think the real challenge is for all the Mofo'ers to keep this going. It was an amazing month, I 'met' many amazing, talented and caring people and.would like to stay in touch. Who's going to do #BlogActionDay this year? #VeganMoFo #vgnmf15 #vegnsofig #veganfoodshare #vegan #whatveganseat #veganfoodporn #rawvegan #raw #vegansa #vegansofza

Day 28 of #vgnmf15 asks which do we prefer? tacos or burritos? I choose...tostadas! Yes, I'm going to be "that person," the one who has to be stubborn and contrary. But if you really think about it, tostadas are a bit of both, but look much prettier. If you...

VeganMoFo, Day 28 - Tacos VS Burritos. Where do you stand on this important issue?

In case you couldn’t tell from the burrito montage (side note: why do all my burrito pics looks EXACTLY THE SAME? Is there just no other way to photograph a burrito?), I stand with Team Burrito.  

Allow me to lay out my case.

1. Assuming they’re wrapped tightly, burritos are hella easier to eat than tacos. Their open tops leave you vulnerable to all sorts of spillage.

2. You can put pretty much anything in a burrito and call it a burrito. Exhibit A: breakfast burritos.

3. Burritos do an epic job of dressing up leftovers. IT’S LIKE A WHOLE NEW MEAL!

4. If I wanted crunchy taco shells, I’d just toss tortilla chips in a Big Salad. More of it would end up in my mouth anyway.

5. Soft tortillas are like blankets for your food. Who doesn’t want their favorite foodstuffs to feel all warm and cozy and loved? MONSTERS, THAT’S WHO. 

Don’t be a monster. Binge eat some burritos today.

VeganMoFo 2015 - Day 28: Tacos or Burritos? For me burritos all the way.... although I won't turn my nose up to a taco with tons of salsa, guacamole and lots of chillies. #VeganMoFo #vgnmf15 #vegan #veganfoodshare #vegansa #vegansa #vendors #veganfoodporn

#VeganMoFo Day 28: Tacos vs. burritos

Here’s the thing: I was going to get a delicious burrito at my farmers’ market and then go home and make tacos and do a whole compare and contrast. But then my lower back (really, glutes) decided it was a great time to have a tantrum so doing much of anything is painful. (I even had a super intense massage, which made 95% of the pain disappear, and I was doing a happy dance until turning the car into the driveway triggered another spasm.)

Tl;dr: I didn’t make anything today. But let’s discuss the pros and cons of each.

Portability

Burritos: easy to pack and bring almost anywhere with minimal utensils and cleanup

Tacos: open-faced nature requires structured carrying, napkins, and sometimes utensils

Point: Burritos

Availability

Burritos: you can find a vegan burrito at at least a half dozen national chains, in airports, at farmers’ markets, as frozen food, at grocery store deli counters…

Tacos: many taco vendors offer only meat fillings

Point: Burritos

Creativity

Burritos: while the fillings can be anything, the presentation and often the taste are very much the same

Tacos: its small size means experimenting with different combinations of veggies, salsas, proteins, etc. is incredibly easy, and often beautiful

Point: Tacos

Homemade

Burritos: extra-large tortillas are harder to find in stores, and rolling an overstuffed burrito requires care and skill, usually perfected with experience

Tacos: any small tortilla will do--even homemade tortillas come together in a snap--and toppings can be made or bought in any quantity or quality, making it a quick dinner or an easy party buffet

Point: Tacos

Healthiness

Burritos: filling and easy to make into complete meal with beans, whole grains, avocado, salsa, and lots of veggies

Tacos: easier to control portion size and have with more greens or beans on the side than might be practical in a burrito

Point: Tie

There are no losers here, only winners. Tacos are what I’m more likely to make at home or at a family gathering; burritos are a go-to quick meal. Isn’t the world a better place with both?
