Where did the word burrito come from?

The word "burrito" most likely comes from the Spanish word "burro", which means "donkey". The name "burrito" is thought to have come from the practice of Mexican peasants in the state of Guanajuato transporting their food in a small bag or blanket, which was tied to the saddle like a donkey's saddlebags. The word was first recorded in print in 1895 in the Mexican magazine El Tiempo de Mexico.
