Steps:

Tips
- Choose the right tortillas: Use large, flour tortillas for these burritos. They are more pliable and less likely to tear than corn tortillas.
- Fill the burritos evenly: Divide the filling evenly among the tortillas. This will help to ensure that each burrito is evenly cooked and has a good ratio of filling to tortilla.
- Roll the burritos tightly: Roll the burritos as tightly as possible. This will help to keep the filling inside and prevent the burritos from falling apart.
- Cook the burritos over medium heat: Cook the burritos over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning.
- Serve the burritos with your favorite toppings: Serve the burritos with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or cheese.
