One of the greatest things about America is the melting pot culture that exist within the country as everyone is bringing their traditions together. One of the most defining parts of a culture is their cuisine and how they prepare their meals. Everything is different by culture, but they all have their own signatures that put their stamp on the world.

Mexican cuisine is some of the most delicious on the planet in my opinion. I'm also intrigued by the way they can make a thousand different entrees from the same ingredients, it's truly mesmerizing. I'm a huge fan of tacos, taquitos, enchiladas, tortas, and many other entrees. Although those all taste amazing, nothing quite compares to the burrito.

A burrito is really just a large taco that encloses all of the ingredients rather than leaving the top open. Often times, they will have special names that relate to some additional ingredients or sauces they may be added to enhance the flavors. Most Mexican restaurants have a selection of unique burritos.

There are hundreds if not thousands of options to choose from in the Mitten state to find a good burrito, but the question is which one is the best. LoveFood reports that the Maize burrito at Burrito Mundo in Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan. Here is their explanation for why:

At tiny takeout spot Burrito Mundo, the Maize burrito with grilled chicken is always in high demand. It also contains rice, black beans, cheese, guacamole, tortilla strips, and roasted corn salsa. You can customize it by adding your choice of extras, including tomatoes, cilantro, romaine lettuce, and sweetcorn. There's also a veggie option with grilled squash, peppers, zucchini, and potatoes.

I haven't had the opportunity to try Burrito Mundo yet but it sounds like it should be on all of our lists.
