Here is a video that shows you how step by step. (wait for the commercial to end first)http://video.about.com/busycooks/Burrito...
You can put anything you want to in a burrito really. Just grill your chicken or fry in a lightly greased skillet but first put a dry rub of a little garlic powder(not garlic salt), cumin, salt, pepper or buy a package of seasoning that you like. Throw some bell peppers, onions in there till done. When done place all that in the soft open tortilla with some cheddar, refried or black beans, sour cream, salsa, jalape?os or other pepper, fold and eat or either deep fry, griddle or bake them. You could put cooked tater tots or cooked hash browns in there to. You can make a chili burrito with leftover chili, cheese, can of diced chili's. Or a breakfast burrito with sausage, scrambled eggs with peppers and onions, sour cream, salsa, cheese and hash browns, be creative!
