sushi burritos

Japanese-Mexican mashup

A sushi burrito is a large cylindrical roll combining sushi ingredients—rice, raw fish, vegetables, seaweed—in a format resembling a burrito.

Unlike traditional sushi cut into bite-sized pieces, it's wrapped in nori and meant to be eaten handheld.

The fusion emerged from California food trucks in the 2010s: I grabbed a sushi burrito for lunch.
