In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the crumbled Italian sausage until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.

To assemble the burritos, place a portion of the artichoke mixture in the center of each warmed tortilla. Sprinkle the grated Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese over the top.
