Origins

The origins of the Burrito date back to the early 1900s where, during the Mexican Revolution, a vendor named Juan Mendez traded on the streets of Ciudad Juarez. To keep his produce warm whilst transporting it on his donkey-drawn cart, he wrapped it in a tortilla and the burrito, or ‘little donkey’, was born. A burrito, was said to have consisted of a rolled tortilla filled with meat and other ingredients. However, in other areas of Mexico, similar dishes were known as a cocito and taco, respectively.
