  • Patent number: 4447457
    Abstract: A highly portable food item is provided and more specifically a burrito-type product on a stick. A burrito consists essentially of a highly pliable, soft tortilla wrapped around a burrito food filler. The new burrito-type product includes a self-sustaining tortilla with an edge portion thereof wrapped around a stick or other suitable elongate member which is held by the customer. The food filler is circumferentially enclosed within the remaining portion of the tortilla, with the upper end of the tortilla first turned in to enclose the upper end and with the lower end of the tortilla subsequently tucked in to enclose that end. The portability of the food item thus approaches that of an ice cream bar or coated hot dog having a stick impaled in one end thereof, for example.
