The first ingredients of the burrito are the outer shells. These are soft flour or corn tortillas. Flour tortillas are the most common, they are usually made with white flour, although they can be made with all-purpose flour to make them a little healthier. They can be bought in stores or at home.
Some kind of meat is usually one of the most common burrito ingredients, usually a variety of ground or shredded meat. Beef, chicken, and even ground turkey are common burrito ingredients, though shredded chicken or steak can also be used. Occasionally shellfish such as shrimp or crab may be included in a more exotic dish. The meat is usually sautéed in a pan with dressings and seasonings before entering the burrito.

Many people add beans to their burrito mixes in addition to the meat. Some will also add rice to make it an extra filler; again, brown or white rice will suffice. The whole mixture is mixed and cooked well in a pot, usually with spices such as red pepper, cumin or coriander. Fresh salsa added to the mix will also give it a great flavor. As a final touch to the mixture, you can add vegetables such as peppers, onions or olives. While it’s a little less common, it can give burritos a unique flavor.
