Step-by-step explanation:
The answer to the student's question about a recipe for the world's largest one that calls for 750 lbs. of ground corn for the tortilla and 175 lbs. of cheese is option c) Burrito. Tortillas are a traditional food that is often used in the making of burritos. This large quantity of ingredients suggests that the recipe is not for ordinary use but for setting a record.
Food itself is a significant material artifact that reflects culture, tradition, and history. The making of tortillas from ground corn, as described in the reference to a woman in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, using a metate and mano highlights traditional methods of food preparation. Such traditional practices are central to the cultural heritage associated with Mexican cuisine.
