Your choice of meat, beans, cheese, chilies, and anything else you want warm/hot (hot lettuce is not my idea of a tasty meal, so I serve it on the side as you will see many sit-down Mexican restaurants do along with salsa, guac, and sour cream). For many people rice in the burrito is acceptable, but I am not used to the double carb hit of rice + tortilla.
