A donkey in Spanish is burro. So "mini donkeys" would be burritos I assume.

That is correct. I will have to look up the etymology to get a hint of when and where it became a food reference. It may be traditional.

IIRC it was because the burritos looked like small versions of the packs the burros carried.
