Tips
- Let the filling cool and thicken for 15-20 minutes before rolling to make the burritos easier to roll.
- Optionally toast the burritos in a pan until lightly golden for improved flavor, or pan fry when reheating.
- To reheat from frozen: Microwave for 2 minutes, then air fry at 350°F for 6-7 minutes.
