The Burrito

Juan Mendez, it was you, during the revolutionary war, that first created the Burrito. You wanted to keep the food warm that you were taking, on your donkey, to your food stand in Mexico. You wrapped it in a flour tortilla and then a napkin. You only put two food combinations in each tortilla. You did not call them burritos. They were called a burritas. No where in Mexico are they called burritos. Some places call them tacos in your country. Only in the US are they called burritos. I like food history. Juan, I like your creation too!
