Tortilla dish, whisper love eating it (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

burrito

'tortilla dish' is the definition.

'whisper love eating it' is the wordplay.
'whisper' becomes 'burr'.
'love' becomes 'o' (In tennis, 'love' means 'zero').
'eating' is an insertion indicator.
'burr'+'o'='burro'
'burro' going around 'it' is 'BURRITO'.

(Other definitions for burrito that I've seen before include "Mexican tortilla rolled round a savoury filling" , "Tortilla folded round a filling" , "Filled tortilla dish" , "dish from Mexico" , "Mexican dish - rub trio (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
