I have no idea where your source is coming from with what you just said on the burrito argument, but the burrito comes from Mexico. Ok,I’ll explain, the corn tortilla was the first and the only original tortilla (tlaxcallim) of México, but after the conquest from spain to México they introduced wheat and after a few years in the northen part of México, Sonora to be exact (right bellow Arizona), someone came up with the (zauki) flower tortilla, after that came the burrito, but a burrito is a type of taco the original taco is a plain tortilla (corn or flower tortilla) with something in it folded in half, and the “burro” is the one in which the tortilla is rolled sometimes the ends are folded towards the inside other time the arent……if this doesn’t cut it for you take in consideration this, the flower tortilla is about 462 years old, the taco rughly 20 years yunger, so Texas became part of the US in the year 1836, before that Texas was a part of México so the burrito was invented in Mexico any way you put it. By the way I’m from and live in México, Sonora to be exactly so I do know what I’m talking about…….thank you
