Abstract
Apparatus for making food products, such as burritos, having fillings wrapped or enrobed in dough sheets, such as tortillas. Dough sheets are conveyed to a first station of the apparatus wherein a rotatably reversing crease-forming roller operates in conjunction with the discharge end of a dough sheet conveyor and its non-reversing end roller to form a downward crease or groove in each dough sheet while simultaneously a predetermined quantity of filling is deposited into the crease or groove. Each dough sheet having a crease or groove with a filling deposited therein is conveyed through a series of stations wherein the dough sheet is folded and formed into a wrapper encasing or enrobing the filling.
