NATIONAL BURRITO DAY
National Burrito Day
Move over tacos. Burritos are a very popular sandwich or wrap. If you are a fan of Mexican or Tex-Mex cuisine, you certainly have had your share of burritos. Today is your chance to enjoy even more burritos, as it is National Burrito Day.
What’s in a Name? Burritos originated in Mexico, a Spanish-speaking country. In Spanish, burro means “donkey”, and burrito means “little donkey”. So, how did this delicious wrap earn the name “burrito”? Thankfully, the ingredients of a burrito have never included little donkeys. Whew, that’s a relief!
The first burrito recipe was just beans and rice with a sauce, wrapped in a flour tortilla. Over time, various burrito recipes called for meats, cheese, tomatoes, vegetables, sauce, and spices. Burritos are a good example of why you can’t keep a good thing under wraps. Burritos became popular all over Mexico. By the 1920s, burritos were quickly becoming popular in the Southwestern U.S. and Texas. From there, its popularity spread across all the U.S. and internationally, too.
