Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Grilled Cheese Burrito
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack, and optional pepper jack. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until blended and creamy.
  2. Take a large flour tortilla and spread half of the cheese mixture evenly. Add any additional fillings if desired. Fold the sides in and roll from the bottom to create a burrito.
