Burritos Assembly
- Lay one tortilla on a flat surface, then layer with cheese, then brown rice, taco stuffing, cabbage, tomatoes and red onions. Add on more layer of shredded cheese on top.
- Starting at that end, roll the tortilla up, folding in the sides.
- Use the same large skillet used to cook the taco stuffing and spray with cooking spray. Place the burrito on the skillet with the seam side down. Gently turn the burrito to the other side after 2 minutes and continue to turn until it is golden and crispy on all sides.
