what is the difference between a wrap and a fajita and a burrito?

Question

boys are arguing. I need an answer. Does it have anything to do with choosing what goes in it? Or is it hot vs cold ingredients?

Answer 1

i think it's more the method than what's inside.

wrap could have any number or things inside, but is a soft, usually open, sometimes wrapped in a tube, outer shell of pita or sometimes flour tortilla, often cold.

fajita is a method of preparation where all the ingredients are brought to the table, usually, or maybe always, hot, and then the diner puts them inside their tortilla, usually flour, themselves.

a burrito is wrapped, usually a flour tortilla and it is cooked.

so i'd say there definitely is a difference and it's not so much the contents as the method, although burritos and fajitas are more often associated with mexican food and wraps are often associated with 'healthy' food.

Answer 2

A fajita contains either chicken or beef with onions and green peppers.

A burrito can consist of any meat, beans, rice, lettuce, and cheese.

Those two are considered hot dishes. A wrap is like a normal sandwich except the fact you're using a tortilla as the bread. That's a cold thing.

Answer 3

A wrap is a burrito filled with ingredients that are not Mexican or Tex-Mex. Fajitas are just the strips of meat themselves with the onions and peppers.

Answer 4

I'd say between you and 'lickthisup', your question has been answered.
