  • Use a panini press or grill for a charred effect.
  • Enhance the flavors with barbecue sauce, ranch dressing, or a garlic aioli drizzle.
  • Prepare and roll the burritos ahead of time, then refrigerate until ready to heat.
  • Substitute ground turkey, ground chicken, or plant-based meat alternatives.
