Rice ruins a burrito?
Inconceivable.

Burrito is the form factor, it does not dictate the filling. Riceless burritos are delicious, but cost more because the rice is a much cheaper ingredient than the meat.
My parents don't even put cheese in theirs.

Can a burrito even be called a burrito without rice? I'm sure there's some other Mexican dish that is basically what you want that goes by a different name.

if you're gonna talk rice use violations, let's talk about brown rice sushi rolls.

The whole reason putting pineapple on a pizza is bad is because it makes it taste bad. Rice barely has a taste in the first place and putting rice in your burrito isn't going to drown out other flavors from the burrito like pineapple does to pizza. I don't even see how it's comparable.

In that both can be good in moderation? Rice is good for soaking up the mingled juices of a good wet burrito. If the burrito isn't juicy enough, then I would agree that rice takes it down a notch. Basically, it depends entirely on where you get your burrito.
As for pineapple on pizza, it's good for adding some sweet tanginess to offset the saltiness of peperoni or ham when you're in the mood. I wouldn't order it every time, but it is delicious on occasion. In short, your taste in food isn't a universal law OP.

What time is it?
Grew up on Tex-Mex and never had rice in a burrito before moving to Colorado. It seemed strange at first but I don't mind it. It seems more common to fast food burrito joints (Chipolte, Qdoba, etc.) and less likely to be found in Mexican restaurants. Stranger to me is that types of rice offered. It's never Spanish rice but steamed or brown.
May God have mercy on us all.

Exhibit 1: Delicious
Exhibit 2: An insult to humanity
What the hell is that crispy looking thing in Exhibit 1? Are there Fritos in that burrito?
Edit: French fries I guess.... Exhibit 1 looks like Taco Bell, while Exhibit 2 looks like an actual burrito.

I don't think you're really worrying about health if you're biting into a burito :/
Exhibit 1: Delicious
This is a burrito made for people who want anything but a burrito.
Seriously, there's french fries in there.
Rice takes space away from meat and guac, it has a negative effect on the quality of a burrito.Burrito is the form factor, it does not dictate the filling. Riceless burritos are delicious, but cost more because the rice is a much cheaper ingredient than the meat.

French fries > rice
(it's hard to find pictures of burritos without rice on google so i just found one that i knew wouldn't have any, which is the california burrito)

I like putting yellow rice and black beans in my burrito. The flavors complement each other well.

You know how when you have an office pizza party, and there's that one dude who always insists on getting pineapple, so at the end of the party you have 6 slices of pineapple leftover and no sausage or pepperoni? These are those guys.

Me too! It's actually my favorite topping! Blows my mind that people don't like it. It works perfectly, especially with stuffed crust + chicken.

Beans, meat, cheese. It's not like you're getting much more fiber stuffing rice in there.
Tito's Tacos is worth it.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
There does appear to be some cheese as well. But holy shit, yeah. That is a lot of meat.
There's a good reason for that.

The ratio of people who like pineapple pizza on gaf is too damn high.

Wow. That's an opinion so wrong I almost can't believe it. I find rice to be a critical part of the burrito experience. It's the structural core, the backbone that ties together every element into a united experience.
A burrito without rice is just a gussied up soft taco.
Also pineapple on pizza is miserable. But that's beyond the point.
