To prepare, gently warm the tortillas before filling and rolling. You can heat them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until they are soft and pliable. Alternatively, microwave them briefly, wrapped in a damp paper towel, for about 15-20 seconds. Once warm, fill with your desired ingredients such as seasoned meats, beans, rice, cheese, and salsa. Fold in the sides and then roll them up tightly to form a burrito.
