Prepare the Protein
If using ground beef, brown it in a large skillet over medium heat until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. If using chicken, slice it into thin strips and cook in a skillet with a little oil over medium-high heat until fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes.

Fill the Burrito
Lay a warm tortilla flat on a plate. Spoon a generous amount of the protein-vegetable mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Top with shredded cheese, lettuce, and a dollop of sour cream and salsa.

Roll the Burrito
Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it from the bottom up to create a secure burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
