I miss LO and DRB. 
Fixed.
Whatever happened to DRB?I miss LO and DRB.
didn't he forget to wrap his burrito with some lettuce before trying the fish taco?
Quoted for truth.
I don't care what you call it - burro, burrito, wrap, whatever, I don't want lettuce in my tortilla. Especially since it's usually brown-edged iceberg lettuce that has zero nutrients and only serves to take up space better filled with more animal flesh.

i thought jalapenos were mandatory??? 
In a burrito?i thought jalapenos were mandatory???
Nope.
Best burritos I've ever had were spiced up carne rolled in a tortilla.
I'm not a fan of Bud Light by any means, but they do have funny commercials. This taco salad song could be directly applied to a burrito rule. "If there's any room left, a few shreds of lettuce".
So lettuce is ok, but only if there's room after all the meat, cheese, beans, sour cream, onions, etc.
Lettuciest healthiest on a burritus goliathus is treason. Green shall be guacamole and guacamole shall be delicious on thy burritus goliathus.

Somehow, this thread left me craving Mexican food.

You guys think too much.
Easy rule of thumb: if it's a flour tortilla it's a burrito. if it's in a corn tortilla it's a taco. It doesn't matter what you put in there. put whatever teh hell you want in it.
No guarantee that this translates over to anything other than mexican food. (No cuban, south american, arizonatexmexfusionwhatever)

veggie != burrito, same can be said for chili, but that's a different thread.
hmmm... dunno about that man.
What about the veggie burritos I eat bi-weekly???
I have never seen "veggie" as an option at the taco truck. Maybe that's some new hippie-mex? I don't know if there is even a Spanish word for "veggie".
Isn't this thread about burritos? Anyways, the local hole in the wall has both Veggie and Mexican Veggie on the menu.
Vegetariano. You learn something every day.
a traditional burrito has specific ingredients in it...just wrapping a tortilla around something does not make it a burrito...lettuce?...hmm my grandma never put lettuce in my burritos until I was about 25 or so...so just like most foods, introduction of other cultures always finds it's way in...D
I found your problem...you're looking in the wrong place..lol
Mexicans put a lot of crazy sh!t in burritos around here (tongue, brains, pork rinds) but lettuce isn't one of them.
If it's not mexican, it's not a burrito, it's a "wrap".

The locations I frequent have bean burritos, but those don't come with lettuce either. I was born and raised in California and I know there are a lot of places that offer a variety of items. But my mother in law is Costa Rican and my father in law is Guatemalan and neither of them would consider putting lettuce in a burrito.
My neighborhood growing up was predominantly Mexican, the town I live near now is predominantly Mexican. The places I eat on a near daily basis use lettuce as a garnish.
I just love how these threads get so militant. If you like to eat a burrito with lettuce, or only containing veggies, that's awesome. That's just not how burritos are rolled in my hood.
<edit> Someone should start a militant rib thread. Pork or Beef, dry rub, or sauce. I'll take a pork rib with spicy sauce, please!
