What is the difference between baleadas and burritos?

I'm doing research on baleadas for a spanish presentation, and to me they seem just like burritos. And the ones with eggs are like breakfast burritos. Am I wrong? Please give details.

    Well, a burrito is basically anything wrapped in a flour tortilla (usually beans or meat). The only difference I notice is that for the baleadas the the tortillas are thicker.

    Well - it might depend on where you are getting your Mexican food. If your getting it from a place like Taco Bell - the only difference may be the size. However, in authentic Mexican food a soft taco is usually on a corn tortilla, with meat and salsa, and maybe cilantro, sometimes there will be sour cream - but that's about it. Besides the fact that burritos are American made, sort of an American version of a taco (but still very different) - burritos are larger, are in flour tortillas and include meat, beans, rice, salsa, sour cream, cheese, sometimes avocado - there is much more in a burrito and they are a lot bigger - tacos are more authentic and as such usually have less ingredients and are a lot smaller - they are very different dishes.
