• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Corn and Cheese Burritos

1. In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add the sweet corn to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped cilantro until well combined.
4. Warm the flour tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave until pliable.
5. Place a generous scoop of the corn and cheese mixture in the center of each tortilla.
6. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to create a burrito.
7. Optional: Place the burritos seam-side down in the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crispy.
8. Serve warm with salsa on the side.

Tips for the Best Results

• For added flavor, you can mix in some diced jalapeños or bell peppers with the corn.
• If you prefer a spicier version, use pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar.
• Make sure to warm the tortillas to prevent them from tearing when rolling.

Easy Variations

• Chicken or Beef: Add shredded cooked chicken or ground beef for a heartier filling.
• Black Beans: Mix in a can of drained black beans for extra protein and fiber.
• Guacamole: Top your burritos with guacamole for a creamy addition.

What to Serve With It

• A fresh green salad with lime vinaigrette
• Mexican rice or cilantro-lime rice
• Additional salsa or guacamole
• Sour cream or Greek yogurt for dipping
