Script
Mexican people are great lovers of spicy food. The world knows a lot of dishes originated from Mexico: burritos, quesadillas, dorilocos and tacos.

But the inhabitants of one Mexican city prefer to eat burritos with chapulines. So, what exactly do they wrap in tortillas?

Chapulines, or edible grasshoppers, are fried in oil and seasoned with pepper, garlic and lemon. They can be eaten as garnishes with many dishes. Sometimes Mexicans eat them as a snack as these fried insects are crunchy, salty, spicy and full of protein.Though these insects are considered to be pests, they are true delicacies because people have to catch them in nature. Besides, experienced dainty eaters don't recommend eating a whole plate of these insects as they contain high amounts of lead. Trying a few won't hurt you, but pregnant women and children should avoid them.
