Burritos are a pretty genius invention. After all, they contain an entire meal in a handy wrap that makes them the perfect food to eat on-the-go. Plus, when you whip up a delicious burrito bowl for dinner, you can then make homemade burritos for lunch with the leftovers. But who came up with this clever concept? While the exact origins of the modern burrito aren’t entirely clear, it first emerged in northern Mexico and soon became a staple in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine. Traditional Mexican burritos are usually made with wheat flour tortillas and contain ingredients like ground meat, rice, beans, cheese, and salsa. Nowadays, there are countless variations of the classic burrito, including Indian-style wraps with curry, paneer, and chickpeas. And that right there is the true beauty of the burrito: you get to fill it with the ingredients you love the most!
