A Mexican food made of a flour tortilla wrapped around fillings like beans, rice, meat, and cheese.
From Spanish 'burrito' (literally little donkey), possibly because the dish is as filling and sustaining as a donkey, or because it was originally sold by vendors with donkeys.
The burrito became popular in the United States only after the 1960s despite existing in Mexico for centuries—it's a perfect example of how foods travel with immigration and economics, not just ancient history!
