  6. Warm the tortillas in the microwave or skillet for about 10-15 seconds.
  7. Spoon a portion of the filling mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Top with salsa and sour cream.
  8. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly.
  9. In the skillet, place the rolled burritos seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden.
  10. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of each burrito and cover the skillet for 1 minute to melt.
  11. Slice in half if desired, and serve hot with extra salsa, sour cream, and cilantro.
