Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and warm one flour tortilla at a time. This step ensures that the tortilla is soft and pliable, making it easier to wrap the burrito.

Step 2

Place the warm tortilla on a plate. Down the middle, spread ¼ cup of cheese, ¼ cup of cilantro rice, ⅓ cup of carnitas, 2 tablespoons of beans, ¼ cup of pico de gallo, 2 tablespoons of guacamole, and ¼ cup of shredded lettuce.

Step 3

Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it from the bottom to the top, securing all the fillings inside. You can toast the burrito on each side in a skillet over medium heat for an added crispy texture.

Step 4

Cut the burrito in half if desired, and serve with your favorite side dishes like chips and salsa, Mexican street corn, or a fresh side salad.
