Don't be afraid to really get your fingers in the burrito as well.
Give it a good few squeezes.

Mead hit it already, but yeah.

First you put the tortilla down. Take whatever you want in your burrito and place it a bit closer to you then the center. Now flip the sides over so it just covers the edge of your filling. Next take the side closest to you and flip it over the filling and tuck it in, under the side of the filling away from you. Make it nice and tight. Now roll the burrito up the rest of the way and you have a nicely tucked burrito.

Done right you can really fill it up this way. Great for making home made steak burritos etc:)

For the tortilla, you can quickly toast it over a gas flame stove top, then microwave it for about 10-15 seconds to get it nice and soft and slightly sticky. Helps you to roll it, but toasting it first gives it a bit of char/crunch as well.

Now, if you want to get a bit more complicated. If you BBQ your steak (skirt), then cut it up, it's good to toss the steak (and juices) into a pan with already sauteed onions/bell peppers. This mixes the flavor really well. Just take your tortilla and place it on top of everything in there, and the steam will soften it up, and flavor it.

To really up the flavor though, skip that last step, and remove the steak/onions/bell peppers into a bowl. Then keep the pan warm and toss the tortilla down onto the juices. It'll flavor the entire tortilla with beef juice while toasting it a bit. If there is too much juice, just drop the tortilla into the pan, then place it to the side and do that with other ones until there isn't too much juice, and then toast them all one after another.

Here are my cousins (they are much older now...and were on American Idol this season actually), singing one of the early songs "Hot Burrito"

Seems appropriate.
