What you need to make burritos at home
1. A tortilla press
You can't have a burrito without a quality tortilla. There's nothing more satisfying than making your own and thanks to our favorite tortilla press, it's a simple thing to do. The Victoria 8" Cast Iron Tortilla Press is great at making both corn and flour tortillas. Its cast-iron makes it sturdy, with its pre-seasoning makes each tortilla tasty, producing perfect tortillas every time. Plus, it's easy to store.
2. A tortilla warmer
Nobody likes a cold burrito. Unfortunately, being that they are so flat, tortillas can cool rather quickly. With a tortilla warmer, you can keep your tortillas toasty warm while you make the rest of your burritos. The best tortilla warmer we've tested is the ENdeas Two-Sided Reversible Tortilla Warmer. It retains heat for up to an hour, stores easily and has a beautiful design.
3. A rice cooker
Sure, you can make rice on a stovetop for your burrito filling, but using a rice cooker will make the process a whole lot easier. The Zojirushi NS-ZCC10 is the best rice cooker we've tested thanks to the tasty rice it produces, its convenient safety features and its ability to cook several types of rice. That said, it's a bit expensive, so if you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, check out our value pick. The Panasonic SR-DF101 is easy to use and built to last.
4. A cast iron skillet
A quality skillet ensures that your burrito's protein will come out perfectly and if you're looking for quality, you're looking for Lodge's cast iron skillet. It's the best cast iron skillet we've tested thanks to its affordability, lightweight build, comfortable handle and nonstick property that makes cleaning it a breeze.
5. Knives
Many recipes call for a copious amount of cutting, slicing and dicing—burritos included. To make sure your cuts are clean, we recommend picking up the best chef's knife we've tested, the Zwilling Pro 8" Chef's Knife. It's durable, easy to hold and well-balanced for perfect cutting.
6. A can opener
From beans to diced tomatoes, you may be dealing with some canned ingredients and toppings for your burrito. To make your perfect burrito without hassle, we recommend buying the best manual can opener we've tested, the EZ-DUZ-IT Deluxe Can Opener. This can opener is durable, easy to use and very affordable.
7. A grater
With a quality grater, you'll be able to make freshly shredded cheese for your burrito. The best grater we've tested is the Microplane Four Blade Four-Sided Box Grater. It's super sharp, dishwasher safe and has removable parts for easy cleaning. For a more affordable option, check out our budget pick, the Cuisinart CTG-00-BG Box Grater, which is efficient, sturdy and comfortable to use.
8. A food processor
Whether you're making guac or salsa, using a food processor for all your pureeing and blending needs will make your life a whole lot easier. There's no food processor better for the task than the Cuisinart DFP-14BCNY, our favorite food processor, thanks to its quiet operation, easy storage and great results. For a value option, we recommend the Black & Decker FP4200B which is easy to use, dishwasher safe and excels at chopping, slicing and kneading, too.
9. A meat grinder
If you're grinding your own meat for your burritos, you'll need either a solo grinder or an attachment to a stand mixer. Our favorite stand mixer is compatible with a meat grinder that's easy to use and comes with a convenient storage case. If you're going the solo grinder route, consider the LEM Products Big Bite Electric Meat Grinder, which supports different size options and comes with a storage tray for utensils.
10. Food delivery
Not in the mood to cook? There are tons of delivery services you can use to bring delicious burritos right to your door. Both DoorDash and Grubhub deliver food from your favorite local restaurants to you. Meanwhile, Goldbelly allows you to shop from delicious restaurants across the country and have tasty food shipped right to your door. Try something new from a highly-rated restaurant or enjoy a bite of home while you’re away.
