A burrito [1] in Mexico is, historically, a regional name, among others, for what it’s known as a taco, a tortilla filled with food, in other parts of the country.[2][3][4] In modern times, it is considered by many as a different dish in Mexican[5] and Tex-Mex cuisine[6] that took form in Ciudad Juárez, consisting of a flour tortilla wrapped into a sealed cylindrical shape around various ingredients.[7] The tortilla is sometimes lightly grilled or steamed to soften it, make it more pliable, and allow it to adhere to itself. Burritos are often eaten by hand, as their tight wrapping keeps the ingredients together. Burritos can also be served "wet", i.e., covered in a savory and spicy sauce, when they would be eaten with a fork and knife. <
