The difference between a Sancho and a Burrito is basically the Sancho is the deep fried version of a burrito and a burrito is not typically deep fried and if so it's also known as a Chimichanga.

A Sancho large soft flour tortilla loaded with our specially seasoned beef, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes.

The deep-fried cousin of the burrito, the chimichanga is a flour tortilla filled with meat.

For example at La Mesa Mexican Restaurant, their chimichangas are filled with either beef or shredded chicken, fried, and served with lettuce, rice, refried beans, pico de gallo, sour cream, and topped with a rich, creamy cheese sauce.

A burrito is a dish in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine that took form in California cuisine, consisting of a flour tortilla wrapped into a sealed cylindrical shape around various ingredients.

The tortilla is sometimes lightly grilled or steamed to soften it, make it more pliable, and allow it to adhere to itself.

Burritos are filled with savory ingredients, most often a meat such as beef, chicken, or pork, and often include other ingredients, such as rice, cooked beans (either whole or refried), vegetables, such as lettuce and tomatoes, cheese, and condiments such as salsa, pico de gallo, guacamole, or crema.

The standard burrito includes seasoned ground beef, refried beans, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, and your favorite chili sauce. Wrap that up in a tortilla and enjoy the classic taste.

The main difference between tacos and burritos is the type of tortilla.

A taco comes in a small, folded tortilla whereas a burrito is served in a large, rolled tortilla. Burritos can be stuffed with rice which is rare for a taco.
