  2. Warm the Tortillas: Warm tortillas in a skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side or microwave for 10-15 seconds to make them flexible.

  4. Grill the Burrito: Heat a non-stick skillet and add butter or oil. Place burrito seam side down and grill for 3–4 minutes. Flip and grill the other side.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Let burrito cool for a minute before slicing in half. Serve with salsa, guacamole, or salad.

Notes

For best results, use enough cheese on the outside for a crispy crust. Warm tortillas to prevent tearing during wrapping. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
