  2. Slowly pour in milk, whisking until smooth.
  3. Stir in cheddar, cream cheese (if using), and mustard until melted and creamy.

3. Assemble the Burrito

  3. Drizzle with ketchup & mustard if desired.
  4. Fold the sides in, then roll tightly.

4. Grill for Extra Crispiness (Optional)

5. Serve & Devour!
