Burrito!Burrrito!

A burrito is a flour tortilla filled with a protein usually consists of beans, rice, meat, guacamole, salsa, cheese, sour cream, corn, lettuce and more! Have you ever wonder why it was called “Burrito”?

The word burrito is a Spanish word that translates to “little donkey”. It is named not because it looked like a donkey but because a tighly-packed and rolled burrito looks like a bedroll or packs that a burro put to work would carry.
