Around 10,000 B.C., a corn tortilla food wrap became a common dinner in Mesoamerica. For thousands of years and countless generations, the recipe was passed on and evolved. The Pueblo Native American of southwestern United States and northern Mexico ate it as a staple meal. Cowboys roaming California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Texas, and Guanajuato found it to be an easy meal to eat while rounding up cattle. There's a couple legends where the name "burrito" came from. One says it's because a street vendor in Ciudad Juárez named Juan Méndez sold the meal while riding a donkey. Another claims it came from a term of endearment used by a man selling lunches to poor school children. Today, the burrito is served in an infinite amount of restaurants in a myriad of varieties. Yet another example of how food shows we have more in common than we have in differences.
Alrededor de 10.000 aC, una envoltura de tortilla de maíz se convirtió en una cena común en Mesoamérica. Durante miles de años e innumerables generaciones, la receta se transmitió y evolucionó. El pueblo nativo americano del suroeste de los Estados Unidos y el norte de México lo comió como una comida básica. Los vaqueros que vagaban por California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Nuevo México, Colorado, Texas y Guanajuato consideraron que era una comida fácil de comer mientras redondeaban el ganado. Hay un par de leyendas de donde vino el nombre "burrito". Uno dice que es porque un vendedor ambulante en Ciudad Juárez llamado Juan Méndez vendió la comida mientras montaba un burro. Otro afirma que proviene de un término de cariño usado por un hombre que vende almuerzos a niños de escuelas pobres. Hoy en día, el burrito se sirve en una cantidad infinita de restaurantes en una gran variedad de variedades. Otro ejemplo más de cómo la comida muestra que tenemos más en común que diferencias.
