This was actually tried. Cheaper and healthier

That video shows a person spending more than $34 on groceries and making exactly 1 burrito.

You didn't watch it then. The leftovers would allow him to make way more burritos than just one.

I saw what I saw.

If there are more burritos in the future, then: I eagerly await Episode 2: One More Burrito [from last week's funky leftovers]

He says it right after returning from the store. Like "I bought this bag of 12 tortillas, I only need one for this burrito, obviously I would be using the rest for other things".

Sure. Tortillas can indeed last for quite a long time without any particular extra effort. Those 11 unused tortillas account for $4.39. We'll take that off of the total.

The cost of the singular burrito has now been reduced to ~$30, which still seems rather expensive.

My point is it's cheap if you value your time at $0.

Actually given that in the US especially you would have to drive to chipotle, queue and then wait for them to prepare it, and you are already doing groceries anyway, you are exchanging driving and waiting at a Chipotle by cooking things at home. I find the second more enjoyable, but I understand that for people that don't like cooking it might not be the case.
