Burrito recipes

Tacos and burritos are both popular Mexican dishes where a filling is wrapped in a tortilla, but a few things separates them. A burrito, although very popular outside of Mexico is not common outside northern Mexico. The tortillas used when serving a burrito is larger than those used in tacos and always made of wheat flour (not corn flour which can be used in tacos). A taco is folded or rolled while in a burrito, the filling is fully closed in the tortilla.
The Burrito often contains meat, rice and beans. It could also be served with eggs, potatoes, sausage and different hot or mild peppers.
