burrito

This term refers specifically to the flour tortilla variety of wrapped Mexican food. While often associated with traditional Mexican cuisine, the large, overstuffed version common in North America is frequently categorized as Tex-Mex or Mission-style, differing from the smaller, simpler versions found in Mexico.

In culinary contexts, the word is used as a countable noun. It is commonly paired with adjectives describing the filling (e.g., bean, beef, breakfast) or the preparation style (e.g., grilled, wet, frozen).
