A burrito is a versatile Mexican dish consisting of a large tortilla wrapped around a filling, typically including rice, beans, meat (such as chicken, beef, or pork), and additional ingredients like cheese, salsa, guacamole, and vegetables. Originating from Mexican cuisine, the burrito offers a portable and satisfying meal rich in flavor and texture. Its healthiness depends largely on the ingredients and preparation methods. Healthier versions feature lean protein, whole-grain tortillas, ample vegetables, and minimal cheese or sour cream. Traditional options can be calorie-dense due to fried fillings, heavy sauces, and refined-flour tortillas. Burritos provide valuable nutrients such as fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals when thoughtfully prepared, but they can also contribute to high sodium and fat intake in less-balanced versions.
