- Take a flour tortilla and place a portion of the filling mixture in the center. Sprinkle some shredded cheese on top. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly, ensuring the filling is enclosed.
- In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to approximately 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place the rolled burritos into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, turning them occasionally for even cooking. Fry one or two burritos at a time to avoid overcrowding the pot.
