That’s a hard no from me.
Why?
It’s not a burrito but I’d try it.

As a concept, I’d eat that all day and twice on Sunday. Reminds me of a favorite I had for lunch a LOT when I worked in Los Angeles: a Kosher Burrito, from the famous Kosher Burrito stand just off the corner of First Street and Spring Street.

What’s not to like, besides the doughy unfilled knots at the ends? Too much stuff all mixed together? Does this extend to all mixes of hot foods encased in pastry?
Is a burrito a sandwich? No, it’s a calzone!

I don’t see the point of wrapping a tortilla around rice n beans. More for everyone else

Basically that’s a marketing disaster or faux pas calling it a burrito, when it’s not. Call it something else and it wouldn’t have the same negative reaction. Yorkshire wrap, roll or pocket might work…or something distinctly British or weird brit slang.
In any case I’d try it, as in why not. It might be good and I can see variations, just like burritos.
While not liking something is personal preference, wrapping food in flat bread is a world wide phenomenon, pita, falafel, burrito, etc. There’s even something called the internal flatbread federation, which includes pizza among many other things. I believe they have a convention. The only difference for burritos is they’re rolled and wrapped tightly, for easy handling.
Otherwise saying you think wrapping rices and beans in a tortilla seems pointless would get a major wtf in California and the west coast. You know there’s other stuff like dozens of filling and salsa, even French fries. Perhaps you’ve never had a real burrito or a good one.

Californians are chill enough not to get bothered by kosher burritos, Korean tacos, etc. or any variations. Just has be tasty.

I’ve had burritos. I even had one in the Mission. It’s not for me. More for all the Californians.
I’ll take falafel pita, gyro pita, shwarma, döner kebab, etc. etc. over a burrito any day, as they don’t include rice or beans. It’s quite alright to like different things.
Perhaps it’s something one has to grow up with

I agree with you, generally speaking. I do have a problem, however, with calling Monster Truck rolls “sushi”. I guess if I think of them as the Japanese do - American Sushi - I can accept them a little more easily. I suppose it depends on whose ox is getting gored!
LA burritos usually don’t have rice ( big debate btw north and south) and some don’t include beans. LA is more of a taco town however.

And I’ll take a taco over a burrito any day as well — actually, make that 3 tacos.

I think sushi is a bit different with somethings not interchangeable. California roll of course keeps the basic ingredients. Never heard of a monster truck roll. What is it?

To my knowledge, there’s no such maki called a Monster Truck roll, but it’s a generic name I use to refer to the dozens of rolls you’ll find in typical sushi bars throughout the US: spider roll, dragon roll, Batman roll, rainbow roll, etc. etc. ad infinitum. Rolls with everything but the kitchen sink, drenched in sauces and maybe even set on fire. That shit ain’t sushi, IMO.

I’m currently chowing down on al pastor tacos from our local Mexican place. While I don’t hate burritos, I’ll take these tacos any day as my first choice.

I feel the same way about sushi rolls. In fact, I much prefer sashimi & nigiri over most rolls, unless they’re unadorned maki or temaki that let the fish speak for itself.
