    Stir in almonds (remember to reserve 3 tbsp for garnish).
    Remove from heat.
    Spoon 1/2 cup vegetable mixture down center of each tortilla.
    Divide cheese into sixths and sprinkle on top of vegetable mixture.
    Roll up tortillas (fold one end in towards vegetable/cheese mixture, then roll).
    Place burritos on serving dish and spoon 1 tbsp sour cream and 1 tbsp salsa down length of each burrito.
    Garnish burritos with reserved almonds.

    If desired serve with shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes and sliced avacado on the side.
    Refried beans and Spanish rice are also nice side dishes to go with the burritos and makes for a full course meal.
