Man I hate these tortilla packets that's like "great for burritos". My burritos are bloody tiny!!!! What do you mean? I want big burritos.
I think burrito means little donkey , so they are meant to be little ๐คทโโ๏ธ
or just smaller than a donkey
I looked it up in the britannica
Lumpy and cylindrical, the burrito takes its name, according to one theory, from the bedroll that Mexican miners and travelers would drape across the saddle of a donkey, or burro in Spanish. Another possible origin suggests that street vendors sold burritos from baskets attached sidesaddle to their burros, the conveyance transferring its name to the thing conveyed.
