A burrito is a popular dish originating from Mexican cuisine that consists of a large flour tortilla wrapped around a variety of fillings. Common ingredients include seasoned meats like chicken, beef, or pork; beans; rice; cheese; and fresh vegetables such as lettuce, tomatoes, and peppers. It can also be topped or paired with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for added flavor. Burritos are a versatile meal option that can be customized to suit different tastes. Nutritionally, they provide a good source of protein and fiber, especially when filled with lean meats and beans. However, depending on the preparation, they can also be high in calories, sodium, and saturated fats, particularly if heavy amounts of cheese, sour cream, or fatty meats are used. Choosing whole-grain tortillas, lean proteins, and plenty of vegetables can make a burrito a more balanced and health-conscious choice.
