National Burrito Day is celebrated worldwide every first Thursday of April, highlighting the popularity of the burrito, a staple in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine. The day commemorates a dish consisting of a wheat tortilla filled with various ingredients such as meat, rice, beans, vegetables, and condiments. The origins of the burrito date back to the late 19th century, with the name translating from Spanish as "little donkey." While burritos are commonly associated with Mexican cuisine, they are particularly popular in northern Mexico, especially in Ciudad Juárez. Variations of the burrito include the wet burrito, which is served with sauce and cheese, and the chimichanga, a deep-fried version. In the United States, local styles have emerged, such as the Mission-style burrito from San Francisco and the breakfast burrito, which features breakfast foods wrapped in a tortilla.
