Tips

  • To freeze: wrap the burritos in aluminum foil or put them in an airtight freezer bag and keep frozen for up to 3 months.
  • To reheat: take out a frozen burrito and wrap it in a wet paper towel, microwave it on a plate for 5-6 minutes, then toast in a pan or air fry for a few minutes if you like it crispy.
