Happy National Burrito Day! Today is a day to celebrate one of America's favorite comfort foods. It's not a secret that we love them so much that we've decided to dedicate an entire day to celebrate them!

A Little Background About Burrito

A burrito is a type of Mexican food that typically consists of a flour tortilla wrapped or folded around meat, rice, and beans. It is believed that the first burrito was created in the city of Ciudad Juarez in the early 1900s.

The word "burrito" actually means "little donkey" in Spanish. It is thought that this name was given to the dish because it resembles a donkey when carrying a lot of things.

There are many different ways to enjoy a burrito. You can eat it as is, or you can add your own toppings and sauces to make it even more delicious. Burritos are usually filled with beef, chicken, or pork. However, there are also vegetarian and vegan options available. The fillings are often topped with cheese, sour cream, and salsa.

One of the best things about burritos is that they are very versatile. You can eat them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. You can also make them ahead of time and reheat them later.
