Pulled pork makes excellent taco filling.

I've seen it at at least one taqueria in North Dallas. It was one of
the meat choices. It looked exactly like USA-style, in BBQ sauce. I
think that it was even labeled BBQ. I loved that place.

I can see you again. Another new email addr, I guess. Anyway, I don't
sauce my pulled pork, although I do provide finishing sauce. When I
make tacos, I sprinkle seasoning and a bit of cider vinegar over the
meat.

I care about the thread. I don't care much about the definition of what
a burrito is. Seems pretty loose to me.

Usually, if you roll it in a flour tortilla you have a burrito, and if
you roll it in a corn tortilla, you have either a soft taco or an
enchilada, depending upon how it is served. But then, there are no
rules.

I can't resist adding that the "Indian Burrito" that I had in
California was rolled in a Chapati; so there :-)But I don't
care much about definitions either!

au contrarely I've heard this

"The burrito, meaning literally little burro or donkey, became
irreversibly linked to the tortilla-rolled packages. Burrito lovers
David Thomsen and Derek Wilson believe that the modern burrito
originated "in the dusty borderlands between Tucson and Los Angeles."
The word burrito first saw print in America in 1934. It was sold at
Los Angeles's famed El Cholo Spanish Cafe during the 1930s. Burritos
entered Mexican-American cuisine in other parts of the Southwest
around the 1950s and went nationwide a decade later."
---Tacos, Enchiladas and Refried Beans: The Invention of Mexican-
American Cookery, Andrew F. Smith

"Burrito. A tortila rolled and cooked on a griddle, then filled with a
variety of coniments. Burritos are a Mexican-American staple. The
word, from Spanish for "little donkey," first saw print in America in
1934. If fried, the burrito becomes a chimichanga."
---Encyclopedia of American Food and Drink," John F. Mariani [Lebhar-
Friedman:New York] 1999 (p. 48)

I am not the one that said that only certain combinations can be called a
"burrito" and other combinations have to be called a "wrap."

Tortillas are cooked as part of the preparation. Whether flour or
corn, tortillas are cooked and then eaten or used in other food
preparations, such as a taco or a burrito. Rolling doesn't imply
rolling pin to me.

These days, I unroll the burrito and use the tortilla as a plate, a
disposable plate. Right now the local Del Taco has a deal whereby if
you buy a $10 gift card, you get a coupon for 2 free chicken soft
tacos. I also toss those flour tortillas. I love Del Taco. Their
green chile is the best single item in the fast food industry.

Have you tried JimBoy's tacos? I tried one last weekend in Sacramento.
They're pretty tasty!
