So the ratio is 8:11, that means you flip it and multiple. 11 packs of tortillas get you 88 tortillas. 8 packs of cheese gets you 88 cheese. They don't share a common denominator so that's the lowest amount you can get without breaking a pack or getting spares.

If they do share a common denominator you can reduce. For instance 8buns and 10 hotdogs means 8:10 or 4:5 making the equivalent point 40 of each.

Mathematically you're looking for the "least common multiple", which is in this case 8x11 because 11 is prime, so 8 packs of cheese, and 11 packs of tortillas, for 88 of each.

In case you have something with a common divisor, like imagine you had cheese in 10-packs instead, you could get away with 40 of each, because 4x10 is 40 and 5x8 is also 40, so just 4 10-packs of cheese and 5 8-packs of tortillas would already mat(c)h up.

You're putting sliced cheese on a tortilla? Buy a block and shred it!

I mean, could you not just take 3 slices of cheese and divide them by 8, add those parts to the other 8.

33 cheeses and 32 tortillas...?

Also 7x8=56 and 6x11=66, so you'd have 10 left over, not 1. What the hell were you smoking? You could eat a tortilla without a slice of cheese, though.
