Who created microwave burrito?

The microwave burrito was popularized in the 1980s by companies such as Jose Ole and El Monterey, which developed frozen burritos designed for quick cooking in microwaves. While the concept of burritos dates back much earlier, these brands innovated the process of making them convenient for microwave preparation, leading to their widespread popularity. The creation of the microwave burrito is attributed to the broader trend of convenience foods during that era.
