A fun burrito fact is that the word "burrito" translates to "little donkey" in Spanish, and some believe the name originated from the way burritos resemble the bedrolls donkeys carry.
?
Here's a bit more about that and other burrito facts:
"Burrito" means "little donkey": The Spanish word "burrito" is the diminutive form of "burro," which means "donkey".
Donkey cart theory: Some believe the name "burrito" came from the fact that they used to be sold out of donkey carts.
Bedroll resemblance: Others think the name came from the fact that burritos look like the bedrolls that donkeys used to carry on their backs.
National Food of Ju¨¢rez: Burritos are the official food of the city of Ju¨¢rez, Mexico.
Chimichanga: A chimichanga is a fried burrito.
Mexican burritos: In Mexico, burritos are usually smaller and only have a couple of ingredients.
National Burrito Day: April 3rd is National Burrito Day. |
