A burrito, or taco de harina, is a type of food found in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine. It consists of a flour tortilla wrapped or folded around a filling. The word burrito literally means “little donkey” in Spanish, coming from burro, which means “donkey”. The name burrito possibly derives from the appearance of a rolled up wheat tortilla, which vaguely resembles the ear of its namesake animal, or from bedrolls and packs that donkeys carried.

Mo’men (مؤمن‎) is a chain of fast food restaurants based in Cairo, Egypt.
