Tips

  • Toast the burrito in the pan with the folded side down to seal it.
  • Allow the burritos to cool before wrapping them in foil.
  • To reheat, remove foil, wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for 3-4 minutes from fridge or 5-6 minutes from freezer, flipping over at halfway.
  • Unwrap carefully from paper towel, air-fry or toast in the pan for a couple of minutes to get crispy.
