Tips

  • Marinate the chicken overnight for the best results.
  • Toast the burrito in the pan, folded side down, to seal it.
  • Allow the burritos to cool before wrapping in foil.
  • To reheat, remove the foil, wrap in a decently damp paper towel and microwave for 3-4 minutes from the fridge or 7-8 minutes from the freezer, flipping over at halfway.
  • Unwrap carefully from the paper towel and air-fry or toast in the pan for a couple of minutes to get crispy and enjoy.
