Warm the Tortillas

On each warm tortilla, spoon about 1/3 cup of the filling mixture. Top with shredded cheese, sour cream, and salsa.
Roll the Burritos
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly from the bottom to the top to encase the filling.

Cut the burritos in half if desired and serve with additional salsa and sour cream on the side.
