Lay out tortillas on plates or on the counter. Evenly divide turkey or beef mixture among tortillas, placing it in bottom half of each tortilla but leaving a 2-inch border around the edge. Top each burrito with grated cheese, chopped tomatoes and shredded lettuce, portioning each out evenly. Top each burrito with a tablespoon of salsa, roll up and serve.
