- Top with rice, beans, shredded cheese, guacamole, and a drizzle of chipotle sauce.
- Be mindful not to overfill to keep the burrito manageable.
- Fold the Burrito:
- Fold in the sides, then roll from the bottom up, tucking tightly as you go.

Notes
- Always warm tortillas to prevent cracking during folding.
