The sushi burrito or sushirrito is a type of Japanese-American fusion cuisine. It is typically prepared by rolling sushi ingredients such as fish and vegetables in a wrap and serving like a burrito.[1] The dish is a form of American cuisine inspired by Japanese cuisine, but is not considered to be authentically Japanese.[2]

Variations

Some variations of the sushi burrito include Mexican American ingredients typical of burritos,[3] while others are simply burrito-sized rolls with traditional ingredients. The latter dish was described by GQ as an "oversized maki roll."[4] Sushi burrito recipes often include raw or fried fish, as well as seaweed or rice wrappers in place of traditional tortillas used in burritos.[5][6] Soy paper is also commonly used as a wrap.[7][8]

History

The sushi burrito was created in 2008 by Peter Yen of the San Francisco fast casual restaurant Sushirrito.[9] Since then, the dish has expanded in popularity and is sold by a variety of sushi and burrito restaurants in the United States.[1][10]

Reception

Sushi burritos have seen widespread popularity in the United States since their creation.[11] Their popularity is partly based on the popularity of both sushi and burritos as take-out and casual dining meals, as well as the influence of "foodie" culture.[12][13] Josh Scherer of the Los Angeles Times described the popularity of the sushi burrito as a food trend, and criticized both the eating experience and authenticity of the dish.[14]
