Description

The name comes from the Spanish word 'burro' which means 'donkey'. There is a legend that the dish was named after a Mexican named John Mendoza, who was nicknamed 'Little Donkey'. Mendoza sold food at the border of Mexico and Texas, saving on dishes and selling meat with vegetables not in a ceramic pot, but wrapped in a tortilla. A burrito is made from a wheat tortilla that wraps ingredients such as chopped meat, beans, cheese, tomatoes, rice, avocado, sour cream, or chili-based salsa.

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Heat the oil in a skillet.

Step 2

Sauté the chopped onion in it for 5–8 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add cumin and chili to the onion, press in the garlic using a garlic press, and sauté for 30 seconds. Then add the drained beans and half a cup of water, stir, cover with a lid, and simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the lid and mash the beans with a potato masher. There's no need to turn the beans into a smooth puree; just mash about half of them. Continue to simmer for another 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
