How To Fold a Burrito

1. Stage

Warm the tortilla, then lay flat: Warm the tortilla so it’s nice and pliable, then lay the tortilla on a flat surface like a clean countertop or cutting board.

2. Stage

Add the filling: Layer your filling about 3/4 of the way down from the top edge of the tortilla.

3. Stage

Fold the sides, the begin to roll: Fold each side of the tortilla over the filling with your index fingers. Begin to roll up the filling. Continue to tuck the sides, using your thumbs to fold the bottom of the tortilla over the filling as you roll it up.

4. Stage

Seal the ends with a sauce, if using, then serve seam-side down: If you have a little guacamole or mayonnaise on hand, use a bit to seal the end of the burrito. Place the burrito seam-side down to serve or wrap to freeze (skip the guac if freezing).
