  1. 1

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

  4. 4

    Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well combined.

  7. 7

    Serve the burritos with salsa and sour cream on the side.
