  2. Warm the tortillas in the microwave or a dry skillet for easier folding.

Notes

  • For extra heat, add chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the filling.
  • Can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a healthier option.
  • Use brown rice or quinoa for added fiber and nutrients.
  • To make ahead, wrap burritos in foil and refrigerate or freeze, then reheat before serving.
