Let's Cook

  1. Step 1.

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Wrap in foil and warm in the oven for 10 minutes: Four 10-inch flour tortillas

  2. Step 2.

    Have ready: 2 cups any of the Fillings for Tacos and Burritos; 1 ½ cups shredded Monterey Jack, Oaxaca cheese, or queso fresco (6 ounces); (½ cup finely chopped onion); (¼ cup chopped seeded jalapeño peppers or drained canned sliced jalapeños)

  3. Step 3.

    Remove the tortillas from the oven and slip 1 tortilla out of the foil, leaving the rest wrapped. Place the tortilla on a work surface. In a wide strip parallel to you, place ½ cup filling just south of center on the tortilla. Sprinkle with about ⅓ cup cheese, and, if using, 2 tablespoons onions and 1 tablespoon jalapeños. Fold the sides of the tortilla in, then fold the edge closer to you over the filling and roll up tightly. Place seam side down on a baking sheet lined with foil. Make 3 more burritos in the same way and heat in the oven until warmed through, about 10 minutes. Serve with: Shredded romaine or iceberg lettuce; Sour cream; Pico de Gallo or Table Salsa
