"on" it, isn't as good as "in" it, and fuck me if I can ever fold a burrito back correctly after opening it up to put sauce inside of it.

Sometimes this fails due to how the burrito is prepared. Once they're "pressed", I feel like they just shred upon opening.

Yeah, anything that is "grilled" at Taco Bell seems to fall apart if you try to open it up after it's been in that panini-press type thing that they have to brown the burrito on both sides.

Bros, I have only eaten at taco bell twice in my entire life. I didn't know... I didn't know...
Besides, my solution was a band-aid fix for now.

Bro that's why you buy a bean burrito and wrap it around the grilled burrito after smothering it in sauce.

That's how Taco Bell does, sadly I know from experience.
EDIT: The loosely, shitty wrapped ones are from lack of experience. As you know they have insane turnover at fast food joints, anyone that's been there more than a month can roll em like a boss but they normally end up being the start of the line, not the end.

God damn, that's not how you fold a burrito. I know Hekotat says that is what he was taught, but that's not how I was taught when I worked at Taco Bell (granted, I started there in '85).
I can't find a drawing of the correct way, because apparently it is a forgotten art, and I'm not even going to attempt to draw a Paint diagram, but I'll try to describe it using the picture above.
Right away, skip step 2 (as in, don't fold the bottom yet) and go to 3. Except at 3, fold the left part of the tortilla as far over as you can go while still keeping the fixins flat, not that half-assed fold they show. This should result in excess tortilla overlap on the right. Now sort of "scrunch" the excess overlap as if you were trying to fold it under the fixins, making the fixins sort of roll into a tube. Now fold the bottom part up, again using all of the excess tortilla, not that tiny little fold they show. Now just roll the "tube" you had before one more time over onto the remaining empty tortilla on the right, and voila, you have a perfectly rolled burrito that will not leak from the bottom at all. Hopefully that makes sense. I just ate from fucking Jimboy's today too, and had a tortilla I could have taken pictures of if I'd known. If I have to, I'll eat from Jimboy's again, purely for scientific reasons!
Obviously this doesn't work any better than other methods if you over-stuff the burrito. Nothing helps in those cases.

I had a layover in the Phoenix airport once and they had a Mexican restaurant with an open kitchen and I sat there and watched the Mexican ladies back there roll burritos for 20 minutes. They did it the way it is shown in Abe's diagram but it was all in one motion and the whole process took about 1.3 seconds. I have tried to learn it but I think you only get to that level by making 200 Burritos a day, 5 days a week for a few years.

But why does the burrito have ass cheek dimples when it's done?
I'm surprised this is even a discussion, the first 4 part diagram is clearly wrong. With all the Chipotle vs Moe's vs QDoba vs Whatever else fast food burrito join talk there is in here how have you never watched while your burrito is being made at these establishments?
