Large flour tortillas filled with rice, beans, cheese, and a choice of meats or vegetables. Making burritos at home can be a fun and delicious culinary adventure. A delicious vegetarian burrito is just as easy and flavorful as using meat. Vegan burritos are a delicious and plant-based alternative to traditional burritos, packed with nutritious ingredients and flavors.

2. Warm the Tortillas:
