- pan
- microwave

## Tips

- You won't taste the cottage cheese.
- Reheat Instructions: Once your burritos are rolled, wrap each one tightly and place them in the freezer. Thaw one in the fridge overnight, then when you are ready to eat, unwrap the burrito, loosely cover it with a slightly damp paper towel and microwave for about 2 minutes to gently thaw it so the center heats evenly. Transfer to the air fryer at 190°C (375°F) for 5 to 8 minutes or until crispy on the outside. Cook times may vary depending on size and air fryer. (You can also reheat them in the oven or in a pan if you prefer).
