Tuna burritos are a delicious and practical culinary option that has gained popularity in several Latin American countries. Although the burrito originated in northern Mexico, where it is traditionally filled with meat and beans, the tuna version has become a healthy and versatile variation. In different regions, this dish goes by different names: in Mexico it is usually called simply "tuna burrito," while in countries like Argentina and Chile, it is common to find it as a "tuna wrap" due to Anglo-Saxon influence. This recipe easily adapts to local tastes and ingredient availability, making it a popular option for quick and nutritious meals.
The origin of the burrito dates back to the border areas between Mexico and the United States, where travelers and workers needed a meal that was easy to transport and consume. Over time, the incorporation of canned tuna has allowed this recipe to become a fresh and practical alternative for those seeking different flavors without complications.
