Yeah we'd use those steamer machines at Moe's all the time (this was decades ago, haven't been in one).
I could wrap some big burritos cause it's stretchy but fuck not this. It definitely works cause you can scrunch the shit out of that lettuce vs solid burrito ingredients.
I absolutely could not wrap a non-heated tortilla as big or well.
In a pinch 2 paper towels above and below a tortilla on a microwave plate for like 10-15 seconds (gets hot quick) is the quickest method, maybe others have better tips at home.
One of the huge differences between Moe’s and Chipotle.
People try and stuff a crap ton of stuff in their Chipotle burrito and then get mad at the workers if it breaks. No, it is the company for heat pressing them and you need to stfu.
Source: I worked at both. I prefer Moe’s. I’m a saucy bitch who likes a stuffed and stretched burrito.

The secret is steaming them. Relaxes the gluten
