What does 馃尟 Burrito emoji mean?
Mmmmmm. The burrito emoji depicts a rolled up tortilla, with different platforms showing ingredients like beans and cheese poking out. (You can even discern the cilantro in Apple’s version, which looks darn delicious.) In many versions, it’s wrapped in foil鈥�”Mission” style, named for the Mission District of San Francisco鈥搘hich, if you ask us, is hands-down the best way to eat a burrito.
As you might imagine, the聽burrito emoji is mostly used in posts about food. Mostly.
Where does 馃尟 Burrito emoji come from?
Did you know the word “burrito” translates to “little donkey?” It may be because a burrito faintly resembles bed rolls that donkeys sometimes carry. Though the burrito first appeared in Mexico, by most accounts, sometime in the mid-1800s, the聽聽peoples of Mexico used聽聽in 10,000 B.C. to wrap food.
In Mexico, the tortillas generally convey bean and meat, and little else, but in the U.S., you might find lettuce, diced tomatoes, guacamole, sour cream, rice, cheese and a number of other items, just to ensure your post-burrito-eating experience makes you feel as full and uncomfortable as possible. In a good way.
The burrito聽emoji kept food good company when it was聽approved as part of聽聽in 2015: it made its debut with the taco, hot dog, popcorn and cheese wedge.
The burrito was added to聽聽in 2015.

It can be used in posts about things that are definitely not burritos, but that are rolled up:

The emoji can also stand-in for shawarma. What’s the difference, really? Both feature delicious food stuffed into a rolled bit of dough. Though the stuffed flatbread聽馃聽emoji probably makes a better stand-in for shawarma.
