Why are sandwich wraps called sandwich wraps and not burritos? and what is the difference?

Question

Cherylann, actually they toast sandwich wraps at Blimpies. But the comments people have made about cold cuts I've found to be true.

Answer 1

bc burrito is a mexican or hispanic term for wraps. so americans just call them wraps.

Answer 2

I'm not too sure, but I think the burrito tortilla is smaller than a fajita wrap....and it does have to do with the fillings, a buritto is usually refried beans, meat, salsa, guacamole and rice. (more or less)

A sandwich wrap is cold cuts or chicken, tuna, shrimp salad. I mean you would not order a burrito wrap, would you.

Answer 3

I think it has to do with the ingredients. Wraps have sandwhich meats, sliced cheese, mustard, mayo, lettuce, and tomato. A Burrtio has cooked meat of Beef, Pork or Chicken, shredded cheese, diced tomato, chopped lettuce and a Mexican flavor.

Answer 4

sandwich wraps generally dont have refried beans or shredded beef in them, they have sliced luncheon meats, shredded lettuce, the sort of stuff you would put on a sandwich, they are also eaten cold, whenever i've had a burrito its been served hot..........

Answer 5

By you analogy a Gyro is a burrito.

I thnk mexicans would be pissed off if MC Donalds called them burritos. And I would agree. Besides MC Donalds can't trademark burrito.

Answer 6

because burritos have mexiacan flavor and sandwhich wraps are mostly made with cold cuts

Answer 7

good poiont. that is the answer
