How to Draw a Great Looking Burrito for Kids and Beginners - Step 1
1. Begin by drawing a long, curved line that doubles back upon itself. Notice that the curves of the line form rounded "corners" as if you are drawing an irregular rectangle. Leave the shape open at the end. It should resemble an upturned cup, as if pouring something out.

2. Draw a long, "C" shaped line crossing into the shape and back out again. This forms the folded edge of the tortilla.

Learn More About The Burrito Drawing
Do you like to eat burritos? Many people across North America enjoy burritos. For centuries, people across South and Central America have wrapped various foods in corn or flour tortillas, or similar breadings - they call these dishes tacos, quesadillas, pupusas, tamales, tostadas and empanadas. The burrito, though, has a relatively modern history.
One story suggests how the burrito gots its name. In the early 1900s, it is said that a taco vendor began wrapping his food in large tortillas to keep it warm as he carried it from his home.
Since he traveled on a small donkey, or burro, the food he sold came to be called burritos, or "little donkeys."
Another story holds that burritos originated with cowboys called vaqueros. It might have been called a burrito because it could carry many toppings or fillings, just as a donkey can carry many things.
Either way, by 1923 the burrito appeared on the menu of restaurants in America, and it has been a favorite "Tex-Mex" food ever since.

Beans, rice, and seasoned meets are common fillings for burritos. Similar foods are enjoyed throughout the Americas. In some regions, burrito like dishes are called flautas, meaning "flutes," due to their shape.
In other places, burritos are referred to as burro percheron, burritas, chivichanga, or chimichangas. In the United States, "breakfast burritos" often contain eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, and cheese.
