- Hi guys, it's Lee Kalpakis,
back with another installment of "You're Doing it Wrong."
And today, we're talking burritos,
because as we all know, the construction of a burrito
can get super-messy,
and the consumption of a burrito can get even messier.
We're here today to teach you how to construct
a solid burrito,
and how to teach you how to eat a burrito in public
without any shame.
Today I have a special guest.
He's my pal, he's an editor at Thrillist,
and he is a burrito enthusiast, Mr. Matt Dorsi.
Matt, why don't you come on our here?
- What's up, Lee?
- How're you doing, bud?
- Great, just, you know, doing my stretches.
- You have this amazing burrito eating technique
that I've never seen anywhere else,
and I was hoping that
once we have these burritos constructed,
you could maybe touch on your burrito eating technique
for our audience.
- Sure, let's touch it.
- Let's touch it. - Touch that technique.
- Let's make our burrito. - Hell yeah.
- There's just a few important things to remember.
I think the No. 1 thing is
when I'm about to make a burrito, I'm super-hungry,
I'm very excited -- maybe a little too excited.
- I can relate.
- I want to remember that it's not about
having as much meat as possible, as many beans as possible,
all the guacamole in the world.
We want to make sure that we have proper ratio,
and we can control ourselves, right?
- Let's see.
- We'll see. - We'll see.
- We're not sure.
OK, we're gonna start with our rice.
- [Matt] Cool.
- A nice bed of rice, all right?
We're not going crazy with it, you know?
Just a nice even layer.
We're gonna do some beans,
then we're gonna put our chicken.
I put some cilantro.
I'm putting our shredded cheese on top of our beans
and our chicken, because those are our hot components.
Next I'm going to add our salsa.
Next I'm gonna add guacamole,
because who doesn't like guacamole?
- I heard guac is extra, is that true?
- We've got some shredded lettuce,
because we're health nuts.
Why you want the lettuce is because of the crunch.
Matt, do you like it spicy?
- Yes.
- OK, cool.
So we're gonna add some hot sauce.
- Can you tell that I'm spicy, my personality?
- You're a very spicy guy, that's true.
So we're gonna roll this burrito.
We're gonna start with our edge, our bottom edge,
we're gonna roll it up like this.
The most important thing to remember is your sides,
you know what I'm saying?
We're not making a cannoli here.
We want to be tucking the sides the entire time.
We'll roll again,
we're tucking again.
And now at this point, what we want to do --
you see the filling, it wants to spill out the top?
We're gonna fold over it and tuck back.
And that's what gives you a tight burrito.
We're gonna roll the sides one more time,
and then we roll it up.
And that, my friends, is how you make
a pretty solid burrito.
- [Matt] Damn, Lee, that's gorgeous!
- There ain't no drips on this guy.
OK, so, as you can see, I used to make burritos like this,
and now I'm making them like this;
it just takes a little bit of practice
and a couple of dips, and you're there.
- Nice, you are definitely the champion of rolling burritos.
But I consider myself a burrito eating champion,
so I ordered us some burritos, takeout.
- You don't have to make them, you can order them?
- You can just order them, and I'm gonna show you
how to eat them like a burrito champion.
- I want to be a burrito champion, just like you.
(laughing)
So what do you call your technique?
- I call it the burrito tutu,
because, you know, ballet.
All right, so slap your burrito down, let's flip it over,
open it up, see what we got here.
- Oh, two layers of foil.
- Too many, get it out of there, get it out of there.
You pick up your burrito, and you just stand it up.
- [Lee] OK.
- Butt down. - Butt down.
- [Matt] Boom, all right.
And then you just kind of bring it up like this.
- [Lee] OK.
- All around there. - Yeah.
- OK, and then you just spread out the tutu.
Not too-too much.
- The burrito is your ballerina.
- [Matt] Yes.
- Cheers!
Hey!
(applause and cheering)
- It works!
- Tutu for the win!
- If I didn't have my tutu, that (beep) would be gone!
- It would be gone.
Now you can just pick that up and eat it.
- Don't mind if I do.
- We're friends here. (laughing)
- The burrito tutu is one great man's way
of eating a burrito.
But let us know in the comments below
the way you like to eat your burrito.
Today, we learned how to wrap them up properly,
and we learned how to eat 'em
without looking like a slob.
So, good job internet, because now you're going it right.
Let's go. - Let's do it.
Eat some burritos.
- [Lee] Yeah, let's eat burritos over here now.
Well, you made it this far.
