Burrito

This Vegetarian Burrito Recipe is full of the flavors of Mexico. If you are in need of a portable, handheld meal, look no further than the humble burrito for inspiration.

What is a Burrito

Burritos – literally translated, “little donkeys” – are a staple of Northern Mexican, Californian and Tex-Mex cuisines. The etymology of the name “burrito” likely has something to do with donkeys being used as beasts of burden to carry large loads.

Large flour tortillas (which are similar to Roti) are stuffed with a multitude of ingredients and wrapped tightly into a cylindrical shape.

Ingredients can vary based on your preference, with some using just two fillings (e.g. beans and rice or beans and cheese) while others can be packed up with 10 or more fillings.
