What To Serve With Burritos?
Some burritos can be filling, and many side dishes are found stuffed inside the burrito itself such as beans and rice. Having said that, in this article we share some of our favourite side dishes that would make lovely accompaniments, and are perfect for adding some texture, contrast, and crunch on the side!
Our Favourite Burrito Toppings
Once you’ve decided on your fillings, burrito toppings are an opportunity to add a contrast of taste and texture. We love to add a portion Mexican Rice and a protein such as Gran Luchito Cantina Beans. Some of our other favourite burrito toppings include:
- A dollop of homemade Guacamole works on chicken, beef, or vegetarian options for some creaminess.
- Pickled red onions add a a bit of interest in our Pulled Pork Burrito or a crunchy cabbage slaw add texture and interest in our Black Bean Burrito.
- Gran Luchito Fire Roasted Serrano Green Chillies are perfect for adding a burst of heat and Gran Luchito Chipotle Salsa adds delicious smoky flavour.

Burritos FAQs
We are super passionate about chilli, and we get a lot of questions about how to make the best chilli at home. Here are our most popular and frequently asked questions on the topic. If you want to learn more about Chilli and authentic Mexican recipes, be sure to check out the Gran Luchito Youtube Channel!
Burritos are tortillas filled with meat (typically chicken, beef or pork), a layer of Mexican rice and/or beans (either refried or black beans), veggies such as lettuce and tomatoes, and finally toppings such as cheese, salsa, guacamole, sour cream and jalapeños. Meat can be substituted with ingredients such as spicy jackfruit or beans to create vegan alternatives.
The key differences between tacos and burritos are in their size, quantity and how they’re served. Tacos are small and served open. You’ll likely need 3 or 4 to satisfy your appetite. A burrito, on the other hand, uses a larger tortilla, is usually served wrapped, and one can be enough to fill a hungry stomach.
Burritos are best made with a flour tortilla as a corn one would break with that size of tortilla.
We think chips and salsa are a must, or take it up a notch with nachos! Mexican rice and refried beans are also typical sides. We think a side of Mexican corn is also a delicious accompaniment.
Yes! Just roll them tightly in aluminium foil, place them in a freezer bag and then into the freezer. It’s as simple as that! The best way to defrost them is to thaw them in the fridge the night before and then, when you wish to eat them, microwave for no more than 2 minutes. This will warm them but prevent them from being soggy. They can remain in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Like most of the cuisine in Mexico, burritos really vary in fillings and size depending on the region. You will find burritos with crispy fish and cabbage in Baja, breakfast burritos with eggs and Mexican chorizo in Mexico City, and smothered in red enchilada sauce in Sonora.
