What are the regional differences in how burritos are made across Mexico and the US?

Question

I know the burrito has a complicated regional history. Beyond the obvious Tex-Mex vs Mexican distinction, are there regional variations within Mexico or within the US that use distinctly different approaches to the same format?

The Sonoran burrito — small, simple, thin tortilla — is worth trying if you have only ever eaten Mission or California-style burritos. The restraint of a properly made Sonoran burrito is its own thing. The focus is on one good filling rather than a composition of many components.
