Ingredients
  

For the Burrito

  • 1 cup Mexican rice For added substance.
  • 1 cup red strips For added crunch.
  • 1/2 cup chipotle sauce Enhances flavor.

Preparation

  • Prepare the fillings by cooking your chosen protein and chopping the vegetables. Grate the cheese for even melting.
  • Lay a tortilla flat and layer the fillings in the center. Add a generous amount of cheese on top.

Assembly

  • Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it tightly from the bottom to enclose the fillings.

Cooking
