Great sleuthing.
I like yorkshire pudding and it does go well with beef and all its drippings. But I’m less pleased with the idea of flattening and rolling it.

The photo and the HO comments about it’s closer to beef Wellington is way better a description or possible name. An odd ball brit slang could help popularize it. Yorkie wrap sounds way better, or wellie wrap. If I saw wellie wrap on a menu board on a food truck I’d stop and see what it is.

British Burrito makes sense if French taco makes sense. It’s more about the physics of the wrapper than the flavoring of filling.
About half the recipes, and some frozen Yorkshire wraps, and the empty Yorkshire wraps that are sold in the UK, call it a Yorkshire pudding wrap.
British Burrito or Yorkshire Burrito sounds like marketing.

Agree the burrito is marketing and makes sense in the UK associated with something new, but in North America and particularly on the west coast it gets a weird reaction…but it’s tasty, who cares. From an American perspective a goofy brit name would be attractive, and less surprising.

Most people like Yorkshire pudding because they are puffed up. It seems like the opposite idea to take the batter, bake it into a large flattened circle or rectangle, then wrap that flatbread around something, so the Yorkshire loses any poufiness and crispness.
I like mini Yorkshire puddings filled with roast beef, which I see occasionally. That said, the quality of the roast beef is usually better in a regular roast at home or at a nice pub, compared to the little bits of beef inside a $20 CAD stuffed Yorkshire pudding served at a pub.

Agree!
But @Google_Gourmet already came up with the perfect name for it

I figured someone out there has made a Yorkshire Dog and posted about it.

I miss LA burritos! Machaca, chili verde, small enough to hold in one hand, lots of sauce.

Yorkshire chimichanga? - a deep-fried burrito (and favored by me over burritos). No - fried rather than baked.
Actually I think @bbqboy got it right above. This is the Yorkshire pudding variation on a Cornish pastie, which Brits should be familiar with and folks in the upper Midwest US, too, including not only Butte, MT, but the UP also. Altho it would probably not be a good idea to stuff this in your overall pockets and head down into the mine as did the miners in Cornwall, where the pasty originated.
In the absence of a DNS (Dish Naming System) that can control what names are used, I’ll have one of these, please. I don’t know of a single taco truck or taqueria here that has Yorkshire Pudding on the menu.

Probably beats Altoona-style pizza, amirite

I would be willing to give it a try. Me and burritos do not get along. Until the entire family of burritos mend their ways, remove flour tortillas entirely from their lives and start life anew, with corn tortillas only, i am done with them.
Flour tortillas are the devils stepchild.
JK.
And i would try York Pudding Burrito.

Sounds good to me. Not sure why people have their knickers in a twist about the name. Marketing-wise, everything is better when it sounds like it comes from far away. Häagen-Dazs, anyone?

I really think it should be called something else, it’s not anything like a burrito. it looks delightful, but calling it a burrito is just dumb.

I’m curious as to why you hate flour tortillas, which is what makes a burrito. I’m guessing you haven’t had a good one like we get here in the Sonoran desert. A great flour tortilla is a beautiful thing. Are the grocery store tortillas what you hate about them? The crappy ones are like eating paper plates.

The same sandwich is also called a Yorkshire Pudding Wrap.

It is a texture/flavor thing. The ones we get on the East Coast are gummy and stick to your teeth and do not have the subtle corn sweetness. There are a lot of taquerias that make their own corn tortillas that are much superior to most, if not all, the flour tortillas I have experienced on the East Coast.
And the JK was definitely meant. I was kidding, but there was a grain of truth, for me, to that whinge.
But to tie into that dead horse one final time, in my admittedly limited time in Cabo and Nuevo Vallarta, I liked the corn tortillas more than the flour tortillas in those areas, as well.

I don’t choose to order things wrapped in flour tortillas, either. I only buy corn tortillas for using at home.
What’s funny is that I love crêpes, palacsinta, lavash, laffa, naan, pita, and Yorkshire pudding, all made of wheat flour.
I don’t like the texture of the wheat tortillas I’ve tried.
(I have not been to the Southwest as an adult, and I can’t comment on the regional wheat tortillas I have not tried)
