– Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté until the onion is soft, about 3 minutes.
– Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.

– Drain excess fat if necessary. Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens.
– Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and combined.

2. **Assemble the Burritos:**
– Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.

– Spread a layer of sour cream over each tortilla. Spoon the beef mixture evenly onto the center of each tortilla.
– Top with salsa or chopped tomatoes, lettuce, red onion, and jalapeños if using.

3. **Roll the Burritos:**
– Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up from the bottom, keeping the filling tightly packed.

4. **Serve:**
