actually burritos aren't even Mexican.
just my .02 worth


Sure they are. They were first brought into California's Imperial Valley and
Arizona by Mexican migrant workers, mostly from Sonora. The parts of Mexico
that grow wheat often make flour tortillas which make an excellent way to
carry your lunch - especially if you are working in the fields.

Does not anyone else remember burritoman? He had the history down about
how in the 50s or earlier, someone in an area near either LA or San
Francisco (I don't recall which) created the burrito.

That corresponds to the time of the migrants, more or less. I guess the
next time I go to El Centro, I should check with the owners of one
restaurant there. They got their start way, way back, taking food out to
the workers in a horse-drawn wagon. Their restaurant is still,
essentially, out in the fields.
