Burritos, Soft Tacos or Taco de harina is a type of Mexican food that consists of a wheat flour tortilla wrapped around a mixture of refried beans, rice and minced meat. Another Mexican dish with a long history and was existing ever since the Spanish colonized Mexico. Aztecs were known to sell and consume hand held food items such as corn, popcorn, tamales and tortillas in local marketplaces. Those tortillas consist of beans and meat sauce fillings that is prepared similar to the modern burrito we know today. Burrito if translated means “little donkey” in Spanish. It was named such as appearance of a rolled tortilla resembles the ear of a donkey or from the packs that donkeys carries during its travel.
Although burritos is a very popular Mexican cuisine, in Mexico they are only popular in the northern part of the country. Also in Mexico burritos are smaller in size and usually consist of fewer ingredients compared to the American style which is larger and stuffed with a number of ingredients such as meats, beans, rice, cheese and different sauces.
For this post we will be making a cheesy burrito, our favourite burrito flavour. It’s a simple mixture of beans, lettuce, minced beef, seasoned brown rice and a layer of melted cheese. How about you what’s your favourite burrito filling.
