Chipotle Chicken Quinoa Burrito Bowl

Burrito:

A burrito is a dish in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine, originating in Ciudad Juárez. It consists of a flour tortilla wrapped into a sealed cylindrical shape around various ingredients. The tortilla is sometimes lightly grilled or steamed for pliability. Burritos are typically eaten by hand due to their tight wrapping, but they can also be served "wet" with a savory sauce, requiring a fork and knife.








Burritos are filled with savory ingredients, primarily meat like beef, chicken, or pork, and can include rice, beans, vegetables, cheese, and condiments like salsa, pico de gallo, guacamole, or crema.

They differ from tacos, which fold a small tortilla around the ingredients, and enchiladas, which use corn masa tortillas and are covered in a savory sauce, requiring utensils for consumption.
