10 Burrito Recipes You'll Want To Make Right Now

Though no one would ever question the ultimate Mexican origins of the burrito, there is no doubt that the burrito we know and love today is a heavily Americanized creation.

Burritos have taken on a life of their own in the U.S., crossing cultural boundaries and becoming one of the most popular foods in America. And what's not to love? They can be tailored to fit nearly any preference, are insanely delicious, delightfully cheesy, and are a good option for those on a budget.
