Burrito

 

Burritos are a traditional food of  a city in the northern Mexican state. It is consisting of a wheat flour tortilla wrapped or folded into a cylindrical shape to completely enclose the filling. In Mexico, meat and re-fried beans are sometimes the only fillings but in the United States, burrito fillings generally include a combination of ingredients such as Mexican-style rice or plain rice, beans, lettuce, salsa, meat, guacamole, cheese, and sour cream, and the size varies.
