History and origin of the burrito
The burrito is an emblematic dish of Mexican cuisine that has transcended borders and become popular in many Latin American countries. Its origin dates back to northern Mexico, particularly in the Chihuahua region, where workers needed a practical and easy-to-transport meal. It consists of a large flour tortilla that wraps various ingredients, generally meat, beans, rice, and salsa.
In different Latin American countries, the burrito adopts various names or similar presentations. For example, in some regions it is simply known as a "flour taco," while in other places the term "wrap" is used to refer to more modern and fusion versions of the dish. Despite these differences, the essence of the burrito remains the combination of a tortilla with a substantial and tasty filling.
