A fajita is made from grilled meats, vegetables, dressings (like guacamole) and eaten by rolling it all up in warmed tortillas with beans and rice on the side. A fajita is pretty much finger food.

A buritto is generally larger and more ambitious. It is a large tortilla, filled with meats, vegetables, cheese, dressings, beans, and or rice, then rolled up tight. They can be eaten with fingers but it is usually too big - fork and knife are often needed.


Fajita
A common Mexican-American dish that is traditionally made of skirt steak marinated in lime juice, oil, garlic and red pepper then cooked. The meat is then wrapped in a flour tortilla and garnished with things like grilled peppers and onions, guacamole, sour cream and cheese. Other meats like chicken, fish or shrimp can be substituted for steak.

Burrito
Burritos are a traditional Mexican food that was designed as a portable, ready-to-eat meal and often packed into saddlebags. They consist of a filling, usually made up of any combination of cooked, ready-to-eat ingredients like meat, a sauce, refried beans, and cheese, which are wrapped in a flour tortilla.

Fajitas: This is a Tex Mexican dish. grilled meat (beef, pork, chicken) and veggies usually bell peppers, onions, cheese, salsa, sour cream, guacamole, and a wedge of lime are to be wrapped in a corn or flour tortilla. The tortilla is warm and soft and you fill it with some or all of the above mentioned items. The amount of fajitas you can make is based on how many of the items you choose and how much of each you use. Also, how long the tortillas hold out.

Burritos: A wrapped flour tortilla filled with just about anything you like. Typically beans, meat, chicken and chili peppers with or without cheese. The meat can be ground beef but more often it's shredded. These are served warm. They can also be fried. They can be eaten out of hand plain or served on a bed of lettuce. They are often served with salsa, guacamole, sour cream.
At restaurants, they are served to you prewrapped with the some items mentioned above.
