Hmmm.  I can see how something "huge" might qualify as a "burro" but not 
a "burrito".  The things I used to get called "burritos" were about 6-8" 
long and perhaps 1" in diameter.  They didn't contain rice either or I 
wouldn't have eaten them.  Guess the definition has "evolved" in the 
past 45 years.
