It's not Kosher for Passover.
Milk and meat issues aside, the tortilla shells are made from non Kosher for Passover flour (and probably yeast).
Yes, but only if they are made in a way that is Kosher for Passover.
Here's a little more on what makes something with grain Kosher for Passover or not. Much of the rest of this was borrowed from LadySuriJPA and the OU website.
If one of the five grains – wheat, barley, rye, oats and spelt – sits in water for more than 18 minutes it becomes chametz, and one may not eat, derive benefit from or own it on Pesach. In addition, Ashkenazim don’t eat kitnios – a group of foods which includes (among other things) rice, corn, soy and their derivatives – but are allowed to own kitnios foods on Pesach.
It is common practice that before wheat is ground into flour, the wheat kernels are tempered with water for many hours, and therefore flour should be treated as chametz (Mishnah Berurah 453:24). [In fact, matzah which isn’t baked especially for Pesach is made from tempered wheat and should also be treated as chametz!]. Similarly, all oats are heat-treated to prevent them from becoming rancid; if this heating is done with “wet” steam, the oats/oatmeal may be chametz. On the other hand, barley (a.k.a. pearled barley) is processed without water, and therefore a standard bag of barley isn’t chametz. However, some barley is steeped in water until the barley begins to sprout; this creates a product known as barley malt (a.k.a. malted barley, malt) which is definitely chametz.

no, because the tortilla probably contains corn or flour, which is not kosher. Also, you can't mix meat and cheese, which comes in the burrito. However, you can ask for a burrito without the cheese and then only eat the filling, not the tortilla. It isn't as good as an actual burrito, but it is probably the closest you can get to a real burrito while staying kosher for passover.

no way besides for the meat and cheese issue there is no mashgiach- a jew who watches what goes into the food. so even if you have meat without cheese it will still be considered not kosher. the place isnt even kosher in the first place plus burritos are not kosher for pesach you must know nothing about your jewish heritage and i suggest you go talk to your rabbi if you even have one!!!!!

It's not kosher, but a burrito probably does not violate any dietary laws. Just don't mix meat and cheese. Good Pesach!

Well the meat/cheese thing is an issue, and a taco or tortilla are made with corn and flour. So I'm going to say no. But if you must you can eat the filling without the tortilla.
