One theory is that when flour tortillas became available in northern Mexico, tacos de frijoles, or bean burritos, were easy to carry in the saddle-bags of the vaqueros (cowboys), so for this reason they came to be called burritos as though they were the sidekicks of the vaquero’s horse.
Flour tortillas and burritos are found in northern Mexico and the Southwest, but are not known in other parts of Mexico.
Originally they were called tacos, another story about the origin of the name is that in the 1940s there was an establishment in Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico, called Los Burritos that sold tacos made of tortillas de harina (flour tortillas).
Commercial burritos became available in San Francisco in 1961, according to an article in the San Francisco Chronicle, and now there are supposedly over 150 burrito taquerías (taco restaurants) in the Mission District of that city.
