The origins of the Burrito date back to the early 1900s when, during the Mexican Revolution, a vendor named Juan Mendez traded on the streets of Ciudad Juarez. To keep produce warm whilst transporting it on his donkey-drawn cart, he wrapped it in a tortilla and the burrito, or ‘little donkey’, was born. Since arriving in America in the 60s, a lower-carb, easier-to-eat option called the Burrito Bowl was created. Tex Mex cuisine was created as a fusion of Mexican and American, more specifically Texan, cuisines. Whilst legend has it the origins of the authentic Mexican burrito recipe trace back to Mexico, Tex Mex cuisine has certainly adopted this famous dish and put their own unique spin on it.
