What year did the burrito get its name?

The burrito is believed to have gotten its name in the early 20th century, specifically around the 1900s. The term "burrito," which means "little donkey" in Spanish, is thought to have been used because the rolled tortilla resembles the bedrolls or packs that donkeys carried. The dish became popular in various regions of Mexico and eventually made its way to the United States, where it evolved into the varieties we know today.
