Tips
- Place meat/rice mixture in a bowl and refrigerate for ~20 minutes to help it thicken and make rolling burritos easier.
- To reheat: remove from freezer, wrap in a paper towel, microwave for 2 minutes, then air fry at 375 for 6-8 minutes to crisp up the tortilla, or pan fry.
- Cooked rice in bone broth for extra protein + flavor (optional).
