Short description
This burrito style is oversized, foil-wrapped, and built around a full rice-and-bean meal inside the tortilla.
Ingredients
A large flour tortilla wrapped around rice, beans, meat, salsa, cheese, and optional rich toppings.
Cultural note
Assembly-line counter service is part of the format, with many fillings packed tightly before wrapping.
Common misconception
It is not a small handheld snack; the scale and full-meal filling are defining features.
