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!
