Burritos are flour tortillas wrapped or folded around a filling, typically chicken, beef and beans. You can adjust the seasonings to your taste by adding more chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. You can also use different types of cheese, or even melt cheese on top when they are finished. What I like to do is put a little enchilada sauce on top of the wrapped burritos, add cheese, and place into the oven until the cheese has melted. You can also add additional toppings such as lettuce, tomato and sour cream.
