Cowboy Burritos

This is the quickest lunch that I have ever fixed. My grandson was here today and we made these for the three of us (husband included). They were delicious!

1 (15-oz.) can chili with beans
8 medium flour tortillas
8 Co-Jack cheese sticks

For each burrito, spread 1/4 cup chili down center of tortilla. Place 1 Co-Jack cheese stick on top of chili. Fold sides toward center over cheese stick; roll up from bottom. Place seam-side down on microwave-safe plate. Microwave at HIGH 1 minute for one burrito. 2 to 3 minutes for 4 on the plate, rotating after 1 1/2 minutes. Let stand 2 minutes before devouring. Serve with salsa, sour cream, guacamole, if desired.
