You are not likely to find burritos in a typical, traditional Mexican taco
shop or restaurant. Burritos were invented by Mexican brazeros in the WWII
timeframe as they tried to replicate a good wholesome taco but lacked the
corn tortilla and Mexican chiles. But the history of the burrito is that it
has caught on in a lot of places in Mexico where the brazeros returned and
introduced it to their menu.

My guess is that if you ask for a carne asada taco with flour tortilla you
will get as close to a San Diego Burrito as possible. Add your own sauces,
or ask for some chile verde on the side and add a touch of sour cream.

Look in the frozen food section of your local supermarket then nuke the
beasts, cover with Salsa Verde and spoonful of sour cream and it will be
very close to what we have here in San Diego.
