Why does the rice taste better in a burrito/bowl than as a side?

Wait 5 sec.

Any theories? Whenever I rarely get a quesadilla or kids meal with the rice on the side it feels so much more dry and hard than when it’s in my normal bowl or burrito(even with no salsa/wet toppings). Does a larger amount of rice hold the steam in better? Anyone know why this is or am I crazy?   submitted by   /u/destricsgo [link]   [comments]
