What is the difference between a "wrap" and a "burrito"?

Question

If it is in a tortilla, I call it a "burrito". Why are people trying to change the name to "wrap"?

Answer 1

Well, it seems you are partly in the know...! Burritos are the original 'wrap'. Food trends always come from basic ideas with a twist or just plain genuine inspiration. Wraps largely became popular due to many health conscious diets that insisted bread was evil. Also vegetables were very hard to keep in a basic sandwich form. Thus the wrap, born of Mexican beginnings and heightened to trendy bistro cuisine. Only lack of imagination limits what you can put in your next wrap sandwich. =)

Answer 2

The wrap is more like a tortilla sandwich-meats, cheese, veggies, salad dressing, etc. than the typical beans, meat, cheese, and rice filling kind of thing that you think of when you imagine a burrito.

Answer 3

The things that get put into it. A wrap is a sandwich placed into
a flour wrapper instead of between slices of bread.
A burrito is a taco in a flour wrapper instead of a corn totilla

Answer 4

a burrito is mexican, and has beans in it.
A wrap is an offshoot and is basically a sandwich without the bread, but a wrap instead.

Answer 5

~Wrap sounds healthier... wraps usually have sandwich stuff in them.. and burritos usually have rice & beans, etc.~

Answer 6

Theoretically, a wrap is supposed to be healthier and lower-fat.

Answer 7
