- Warm the Tortillas – Heat the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.

- Wrap the Burritos – Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it tightly from the bottom up to enclose the filling.
- Serve and Enjoy – Slice in half and serve with lime wedges and fresh cilantro.
