Buritos is considered a national Mexican dish. However, it turns out that it was invented recently, a little over 100 years ago. Even the exact date (1910) and the author of the dish (Juan Mendes) are known.

Instruction manual
1
Fry minced meat in vegetable oil until it becomes crumbly. Chop the onion, chop the garlic clove through the press. Add them to the minced meat and fry until the onions become transparent. Season the minced meat with spices (crushed chili and caraway seeds). Salt to taste.
2
Cut the tomatoes into slices and add them to the meat. Throw the canned beans into a colander and mix with tomato and meat mass. Pour half a glass of water into the pan and bring the mass to a boil. Reduce the fire and simmer for about 15 minutes. The lid does not need to be closed. The mass should thicken, and all excess moisture should evaporate.
3
Heat the oven to 200 degrees. Spread fresh cakes with mayonnaise. Divide the meat filling into 4 parts and put on each cake. Fold the 2 opposite edges of the tortilla. Lay them on top of each other and fasten with a toothpick.
4
Grease a baking sheet with oil. Put the buritos on it, sprinkle with paprika. Bake for about 10 minutes.
