A burrito (, ) is a type of Mexican〔 〕 and Tex-Mex food,〔 〕 consisting of a wheat flour tortilla wrapped or folded into a cylindrical shape to completely enclose the filling (in contrast to a taco, which is generally formed by simply folding a tortilla in half around a filling, leaving the semicircular perimeter open). The flour tortilla is usually lightly grilled or steamed, to soften it and make it more pliable. In Mexico, meat and refried beans are sometimes the only fillings. In the United States, burrito fillings generally include a combination of ingredients such as Mexican-style rice or plain rice, refried beans or beans, lettuce, salsa, meat, guacamole, cheese, and sour cream, and the size varies. ==Etymology== The word ''burrito'' means "little donkey" in Spanish, as a diminutive form of ''burro'', or "donkey". The name ''burrito'' as applied to the dish possibly derives from the appearance of bedrolls and packs that donkeys carried.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Burrito」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
