卷并: a tortilla or a burrito? In my daughther´s Chinese educational video, they call tortillas as卷并, but baidu search gives me the pictures of burritoes. Burritoes are not the same as tortillas. In order to prepare a burrito, we need a tortilla and we wrap different ingredients such as eggs, meat, vegetables into a tortilla. So, how do you call a burrito and what is the name for a tortilla? Thank you!

Over here we call a burrito 墨西哥薄 /饼/卷/. A tortilla 墨西哥半月脆卷, A tamale is 墨西哥玉米粽. As others had pointed out, these are just the equivalent names to similar things the Chinese have.

tortilla in Spain means a round thing made of eggs, basically an omelette 煎蛋饼, maybe with other things added. In South American Spanish, a tortilla may be a pancake made of flour. That is then a burrito, you can eat it alone, or wrap things in it. 卷饼肯定是burrito, a pancake with something wrapped in it. In English I would translate 卷饼 as 'a filled pancake roll' burro is Honduran Spanish for a pancake made of flour. You can wrap things in it. In burrito the suffix -ito means little, as in carro, carrito

They are very different in China .玉米饼(tortilla)are not been wrapped,and there is nothing in it. There have many different vegetables and meat in 卷饼(burrito) .

hello Vika,happy to see you again. firstly, little attention here, it's not 卷并, it's 卷饼.(饼bing三声means food, 并四声 is a adv. usually used in pattern 并不是,并且.....) And back to your question, actually burrito and tortilla are not traditional Chinese food, so maybe we call it in different ways , I'm not sure I'm right this time, I cheched the Internet, and here's what I found: Burrito 墨西哥卷饼,玉米煎饼 Tortilla 墨西哥玉米饼

卷饼(no卷并)is more like burrito, 卷 means like sth been wrapped. You can call tortilla 面饼. Anyway, there is no synonyms for burrito or tortilla in chinese since we dont have exactly same food.
