Distribute fillings
On each tortilla, distribute 0.25 cup rice, 0.5 cup chicken, 0.125 cup beans (about 2 tablespoons), and 0.25 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Top with salsa (about 2 tablespoons per burrito), a dollop of sour cream (about 1 tablespoon per burrito), and about 2 tablespoons lettuce plus some tomato dice on each burrito.

Roll burritos
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the fillings, roll tightly from the bottom to form a burrito, and slice each burrito in half crosswise for easier eating.
