Originally, the term 'burrito' was a local name for a taco. In modern usage, however, the burrito has come to mean a dish consisting of a flour tortilla wrapped into a sealed cylindrical shape around various ingredients. The modern usage comes from Ciudad Juárez.

Burritos are filled with savory ingredients, most often a meat such as beef, chicken, or pork, and often include other ingredients, such as rice, cooked beans (either whole or refried), vegetables, such as lettuce and tomatoes, cheese, and condiments such as salsa, pico de gallo, guacamole, or crema.

The word burrito means "little donkey" in Spanish, the diminutive form of burro, or "donkey". The name burrito, as applied to the dish, possibly derives from the tendency for burritos to contain a lot of different things similar to how a donkey would be able to carry a large burden.

Ingredients:

1 tsp chipotle paste or chipotle paste 2
1 egg
1 tsp rapeseed oil
50g (1 ¾ oz) kale
7 cherry tomatoes, halved
½ small avocado, sliced
1 wholemeal tortilla wrap, warmed

Method:

Whisk the chipotle paste with the egg and some seasoning in a jug. Heat the oil in a large frying pan, then add the kale and tomatoes.

Cook until the kale is wilted and the tomatoes have softened, then push everything to the side of the pan. Pour the beaten egg into the cleared half of the pan and scramble. Layer everything into the centre of your wrap, topping with the avocado, then wrap up and eat immediately.
