Instructions
Preparation

- Lay out flour tortillas and evenly distribute the mixture onto them.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheeses on top of the filled tortillas and fold them into burritos.
Serving

- Grill each burrito until it’s golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Slice in half, serve warm, and dive into the cheesy goodness!
Notes
For best results, avoid overfilling the burritos and make sure to preheat your skillet for a crispy texture. Consider adding sautéed veggies for more flavor and nutrition.
