5. Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the skillet and stir until melted.
6. Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
7. To assemble the burritos, place a tortilla on a plate and add a quarter of the scrambled eggs, vegetables, and bacon in the center of the tortilla.
8. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and then roll it up tightly.
9. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
