The burrito's origins are debated, but it likely emerged in Northern Mexico in the late 19th or early 20th century. It was initially a simple, convenient food for field workers and travelers, allowing them to carry a portable and filling meal. Some believe it originated in Ciudad Juarez.

Burritos offer a wide range of flavors, depending on the filling. They typically feature savory, spicy, and sometimes slightly sweet notes, all balanced by the soft flour tortilla.
The core flavor profile comes from seasoned meat (beef, chicken, pork, or vegetarian alternatives like beans or tofu), providing a rich, umami base. Salsa adds heat and acidity, ranging from mild tomato-based salsas to intensely spicy chili sauces. Rice contributes a subtle starchiness and texture. Cheese provides a creamy, salty element. Other common ingredients like guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo contribute further layers of flavor and complexity. Spices like cumin, chili powder, and oregano are frequently used in the meat and bean preparations, adding warmth and depth.

Tortilla Warmth
Warm the tortilla slightly before filling to make it more pliable and prevent it from tearing.
Layering Ingredients
Layer the ingredients in a strategic order to prevent sogginess. Start with a layer of rice or beans to create a barrier between the wetter ingredients and the tortilla. Place heavier ingredients in the center and lighter ones on top.
Wrapping Technique
Fold in the sides of the tortilla first, then tightly roll from the bottom up, tucking in the filling as you go. This ensures a snug and secure wrap.
Grilling (Optional)
For a crisper exterior and melted cheese, grill the burrito for a few minutes on each side after wrapping.
