Burrito

July 12th, went to lunch with a group of friends. If you read my previous entry; I stated that I will try to have more wrap then having fajitas. And I had proved it. I ordered the WRAP for my lunch.

Burrito or Taco is a type of food found in Mexican or Tex-Mex cuisine. It consists of a flour tortilla wrapped or folded around a filling. The flour tortilla is usually lightly grilled or steamed, to soften it and make it more pliable. In Mexico, refried beans, Mexican rice, or meat are usually the only fillings and the tortilla is smaller in size. In the United States, however, fillings generally include a combination of ingredients such as Mexican rice, beans, lettuce, salsa, meat, guacamole, cheese and sour cream, and the size varies, with some burritos considerably larger that their Mexican counterparts.

The word burrito literally means “little donkey” in Spanish, coming from burro, which means “donkey”. The name burrito possible derives from the appearance of a rolled up wheat tortilla, which vaguely resembles the ear of its namesake animal, or from bedrolls and packs that donkeys carried.
