Step 5

Spoon 3 heaping tablespoons near the edge of the circle and smooth into a log shape. Make sure the filling doesn't run off the side.

Step 6

Roll up the burrito about 3/4 of the way. Push the edges of the dough together to seal. Dab the left and right sides with more egg and fold in. Then roll all the way up. Repeat with the rest of the crusts. Re-roll the dough scraps together to make a fifth burrito.
