- 85 g (3½ oz) Cheddar cheese, grated

Serving suggestions
You can pre-make the burritos in the kitchen or serve the mixture into a bowl and let everyone make their own at the table.
Serve with wedges of lime and a green salad
Variations
Pre-make the burritos and heat under a grill for a few minutes for an interesting change.
If you can't get annatto powder, try other spices such as cumin and paprika.
