B is for Burrito!

For Mexican and the Tex-Mex food lover, Burrito is one of the main options on a menu, next to Tacos. Unlike taco, which is only folded around the filling, burrito is a large rolled up flour tortilla typically filled with meat and refried beans. The rolled up tortilla is grilled until it is golden brown and holds its cylinder shape. In the USA, a burrito is not only filled with refried beans and meat, vendors would add Mexican style rice, cheese, guacamole and lettuce to bulk the burrito up.


The word “burrito” means “little donkey”, a diminutive form of the word “burro” that means “donkey”. In Mexico, donkeys were commonly used as a mode of transportation, carrying bedrolls and packs similar to a burrito, the food.

To satisfy burrito cravings, a simple and easy Chicken and Beans Burrito can come a long way.
