A burrito is a food item that leaves no openings for the interior substance (IS) to be seen from; in other words, the exterior substance (ES) entirely encases the IS, making burritos typically some of the cleanest solid foods to eat. Emphasis must
be placed on the fact that the ES is edible in the true burrito; for example, while an argument may be made that this definition of a burrito makes a closed jar of jelly a burrito, the fallacy that the glass jar does not fall under the requirements of edibility can easily be pointed out.
Similarly to the ESs of sandwiches and tacos, the exact material that a burrito’s ES is made out of
has no impact on its categorization; however, it must be different from its IS. Additionally, its surface area, volume, thickness, etc. have no impact on the burrito’s categorization. Common examples of burritos include dumplings, Hot Pockets, jelly-filled donuts, and more.
Despite controversy otherwise, **most common fruits can thus be considered burritos.** The skin of fruit is not commonly considered edible; however, the fact remains that it is not immediately harmful and, in many cases, provides digestible nutrients to the human body, no matter its taste or appeal. Additionally, the skin of a fruit often entirely encloses its flesh, as in the cases of bananas, apples, etc.; in the cases of blackberries and fruits similar to it, as, when picked, an opening is left for its edible flesh to appear from, it would be considered a taco. As there are no limitations to how thick the skin of a burrito must be, so long as it is different from its IS, even fruits like strawberries can be considered burritos; in this case, the strawberry’s leaves would be considered a garnish.
