In Mexico, meat and refried beans are frequently the only fillings. In the United States, however, burrito fillings may include a combination of ingredients such as Mexican-style rice or plain rice, boiled beans or refried beans, lettuce, salsa, meat, guacamole, cheese, sour cream and various vegetables. Burrito sizes vary greatly and some can be very large. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burrito
