Eight Polish foods of Christmas

You may be familiar with the Veggie Tales song "The Eight Polish Foods of Christmas." To the repetitive tune of the 12 days of Christmas the vegetable crew sings of various polish foods--pirogi, gwumpkies, kielbasa, etc.--most of which when described seem to be something wrapped around meat.

I got to thinking about this today as I was ordering lunch for us at Tacontento. There are a variety of foods here in Honduras that I enjoy but when considered really boil down to something wrapped in a tortilla. The tortillas vary from flour to corn, thick to thin, and the contents vary from simple beans and cheese to beans-cheese-plantain-scrambled eggs-meat-vegetables. The following are all available and amount to something in a tortilla:

Fajitas (with corn tortillas usually)
Taquitos
Flautas, and of course
Tacos

I have yet to be disappointed!
