Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

  2. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Feel free to use whole wheat tortillas or substitute cheddar cheese with a plant-based alternative for a healthier twist. To prevent soggy burritos, avoid overfilling and ensure tater tots are crispy before adding.
