A tortilla is not rolled and cooked before it's filled. And if they meant it's rolled with rolling pin, then it's a ball of dough, not a tortilla.
And I wouldn't trust a source that can't even correctly spell the words in it's definition (tortila, coniments).
Tortillas are cooked as part of the preparation. Whether flour or corn, tortillas are cooked and then eaten or used in other food preparations, such as a taco or a burrito. Rolling doesn't imply rolling pin to me.

These days, I unroll the burrito and use the tortilla as a plate, a disposable plate. Right now the local Del Taco has a deal whereby if you buy a $10 gift card, you get a coupon for 2 free chicken soft tacos. I also toss those flour tortillas. I love Del Taco. Their green chile is the best single item in the fast food industry.

so that's why my joints come out flat!
I haven't been a pothead for 30 years, but I bet that I could still roll perfect joints.

Have you tried JimBoy's tacos? I tried one last weekend in Sacramento. They're pretty tasty!

Tortillas are cooked as part of the preparation.
The definition sucks. Think about the series of events this describes: "Burrito. A tortila rolled and cooked on a griddle, then filled with a variety of coniments."
What I think it's trying to say is, "Burrito: Flattened dough cooked on griddle then topped with a variety of ingredients and rolled."
There is everything wrong with that definition, culinarily-speaking. But I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.
