Is there proper burrito rolling technique? I've been making these breakfast burritos every morning this week, but they're not very pretty when I get done. Is there a burrito rolling forum somewhere?

It is all in how you fold the ends of the tortilla...no forum. It is quite a big secret that is only handed down to those who can be trusted with the sacred knowledge.

I just made some spicy bean burritos last night. I fold over one side, then fold the end or ends, and then fold in the other side. Seems to work quite well!

Its like wrapping a baby in a blanket. Tuck the ends in, then roll.
It was determined early after my moving here that I can be trusted with the sacred knowledge due to my extensive Texan heritage.

Saftey pins work well, too. All this is my way of saying  I can barley make the bed, much less fold a burrito the right way. I just lean over the plate and hope none of my burritos finds it way down my shirt.
I am not very good at things like folding burritos, tying knots, etc... 
Pretty good at eating burritos, however.

Thats really the bottom line secret to the whole technique. Avoid spillage.

Maybe Alan will send you a few of the Texas-size bibs to save you.

Just wear a dark shirt that hides the stain.

Go to your local Taco Bell and ask for a tutorial.Then tell me what you learned because I can't fold a burrito for crap.

You mean, you'd fold a burrito for crap if you could? I'd do it for cash, but...
