- Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for about 10-15 seconds to make them pliable and easier to roll.

- Spoon a generous portion of the filling onto the center of each tortilla. Drizzle a spoonful of Taco Bell chipotle sauce over the filling. Add a dollop of sour cream.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then fold the bottom up and roll tightly to form a burrito.
- Place the assembled burritos in a baking dish and sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top.
Baking
- Bake in the oven for 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serving
- Remove the burritos from the oven. Garnish with diced tomatoes, chopped green onions, and cilantro if desired. Serve hot with extra sour cream and chipotle sauce on the side.
Notes
You can prepare the filling and assemble the burritos a day in advance. Store in fridge overnight and bake when ready to serve. For leftovers, store in an airtight container for up to three days. Reheat in oven or microwave.
