I have fried burritos too but I did moisten the edges like you would an egg roll. I nuked the tortillas first to soften them so that they would wrap easier. If you try to wrap with them cold they just break a part. Usually when I make burritos I bake them and they come out of the oven sealed really well and crispy.
I also like to nuke my burritos after filling them instead of baking.. They come out of the microwave really moist and super sealed. The sealed edges practically steam together. Maybe for deep frying a burrito with a moist filling, a nuke before frying would be a safe bet. Last edited by The Ironic Chef; 05-12-2009 at 08:42 PM. |

Thanks for the excellent info guys! Eddie can not eat corn tortillas so the flour would be an excellent replacement! I now know what they are IC when you mentioned frying them whole and using for taco salad bowls. I have never had one but have seen them in restaurants like that, also I have had fried chimichanga's which I forgot is a sort of meat & bean filled fried burrito, the shells come out so nice and crisp! I am going to try some, they should be great! THANKS!

And for those who don't want them fried (poor babies), you can shape and bake them as well.
Soften the tortilla by whatever method you prefer. Using an oven-proof bowl, drape the tortilla over the bowl, inverted on a baking sheet. Pop in the oven. For smaller serving bowls, push the tortilla into a large cupcake cup and bake. |

That works great for corn tortillas. You can also hang small corn tortillas over the wire grates in your oven and create your own taco shells.
I cut up my flour tortillas all the time to make my own tortilla chips, usually sprinkled with cumin and baked in the oven until crisp. |

Believe it or not I have never tried cooking with Won-Ton wrappers or the Egg Roll wrappers either, I guess I have never felt brave enough, or am afraid mine will not turn out right. I bet by trying some this way first and becoming familiar with the product would help me venture forward
