Fun facts:

The term "burrito" is believed to have been derived from the Spanish word "burro" which means "donkey". It is said to have been named after the way that the burrito resembled a donkey's ear.

The burrito has become a popular dish in the United States, partly due to its popularity in the Tex-Mex cuisine. The burrito has been featured in many films, including the classic, "Tortilla Soup" starring Héctor Elizondo.
