A brief history of the beloved burrito
Before we dive into our spicy twist on this classic meal, let us look at how the burrito became a global phenomenon. The exact origins of the dish remain a bit of a mystery, but historians generally trace it back to the Mexican Revolution. Street vendors needed a practical way to keep food warm while traveling, and wrapping ingredients in a large flour tortilla provided the perfect solution.
Here are a few fun facts to share over your next meal:
- What is in a name? According to Merriam-Webster, the word “burrito” translates directly to “little donkey” in Spanish. Some believe this name caught on because the rolled tortillas resembled the bedrolls or packs that donkeys carried.
- Record-breaking bites: The largest burrito ever created weighed over 12,785 pounds. It was assembled in Mexico in 2010 and took a massive team to roll.
- A California staple: The “Mission-style” burrito, famous for its massive size and inclusion of rice and beans, was invented in the Mission District of San Francisco during the 1960s.
Product Spotlight: The Crimson Burrito
You already know and love our Nashville Hot Chicken sandwiches. Now, experience it wrapped up in our exclusive Crimson Burrito. We take everything that makes our sandwiches incredible and roll it into a satisfying, flavor-packed masterpiece.
We start with our premium, hormone-free, boneless chicken breast. Just like our famous sandwiches, the chicken marinates in our top-secret Crimson Rub for a full 24 hours before being hand breaded and then hitting the state-of-the-art fryers. This ensures every single bite delivers that authentic Nashville crunch and heat depending on which of the five heat levels you choose.
Next, we layer the crispy chicken with our creamy, house-made slaw and signature Crimson Sauce for the perfect cooling contrast. We finish it off with a handful of crisp pickles and add a refreshing crunch. Wrapped tightly in a warm flour tortilla, it is a whole new way to experience Crimson Coward. You simply have to taste it for yourself.
