Burrito is the name given to a soft wheat tortilla warmed over a hot pan and then wrapped around a savoury meat or veggie filling. Along with the main filling, a burrito also includes a variety of toppings such as rice, beans, lettuce, cheese and salsa.

Burritos are tortillas filled with meat (typically chicken, beef or pork), a layer of Mexican rice and/or beans (either refried or black beans), veggies such as lettuce and tomatoes, and finally toppings such as cheese, salsa, guacamole, sour cream and jalapeños. Meat can be substituted with ingredients such as spicy jackfruit or beans to create vegan alternatives.
The key differences between tacos and burritos are in their size, quantity and how they’re served. Tacos are small and served open. You’ll likely need 3 or 4 to satisfy your appetite. A burrito, on the other hand, uses a larger tortilla, is usually served wrapped, and one can be enough to fill a hungry stomach.
