To make burritos out of tortillas start by placing the tortilla on a clean surface such as a plate or cutting board.

Then add the fillings of the burrito to the center of the tortilla and then fold the left and right sides over the fillings.

Cook the ingredients such as ground beef, refried beans and chilis and then add the fillings to the tortilla and then fold it over.

You can then place it in the oven to heat the burrito up further if you prefer or eat or serve it as is.

To fold the tortilla for burritos and keep the tortilla from unwrapping, place the filling slightly off center and then fold the bottom flap of the tortilla up, then tuck the sides in and then roll tightly, while tucking the top flap of the tortilla as you go.

You can also warm the tortilla slightly to make it more pliable and easier to fold.

Warming the tortilla also helps the tortilla to stretch better.

Fill the tortilla and place the fillings on the tortilla and leave a bit of space at the edges and then fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up over the filling.

Tuck in the sides by folding the left and right sides of the tortilla inwards and tucking them under the filling.

And starting with the bottom flap of the tortilla, roll the tortilla up tightly and tuck the top flap under as you go.

Then you can also use a bit of mayo or guacamole on the far end of the tortilla to help seal the end of the burrito.

Using a large tortilla can make it easier to fold and prevent the burrito from falling apart and also avoid overfilling the tortilla which can make it difficult to fold and cause the burrito to fall apart.
