Traditional Mexican Food - The History of Burritos

[games007]

Whole Wheat Burritos
Whole wheat burritos are now found throughout a lot of Mexico, perhaps because maize is not grown all over the country, although at one time burritos made with wheat flour tortillas could only be found in northwest Mexico and the southwest United States Mexican American community, as well as with Indian tribes from Puebla.

A traditional Mexican burrito is thin and small and contains only one or two ingredients, which are likely to be potatoes, fish, beans, chili relleno, Asadero cheese, or some kind of meat. Chopped hot dogs in a tomato chili sauce, shredded flank steak, cheese, refried beans, mole, or barbecue sauce might also be in the burrito.
