Trivia: The burrito was named for what type of animal?
Dog
Fox
Grasshopper
Donkey
The correct answer is Donkey
So why is this answer correct? : The word burrito means “little donkey” in Spanish, but it’s not totally clear how the tortilla-wrapped meal became associated with the animal. It might have to do with the burrito’s ability to travel well without falling apart, much like a burro. The dish likely originated in northern Mexico, which grows more wheat, and early burritos were simply flour tortillas wrapped around leftovers.
