Notes

Tips and Tricks for Success

Toasting the burrito after it's rolled not only adds a nice, crisp texture, but it also helps to seal the burrito.
Don't overstuff the burrito with too many ingredients to prevent a burrito explosion out of the side.
Don't add too many 'wet' ingredients in the filling to ensure the breakfast burrito doesn't get soggy.

Freezing and Reheating Instructions

To Freeze

Wrap burritos (but don't toast the burritos) and place onto a parchment lined baking sheet, seam side down. Freeze burritos in the freezer until frozen solid, a few hours. Remove frozen burritos from freezer and tightly wrap each in parchment paper followed by aluminum foil. Transfer wrapped burritos to a resealable freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.

To Reheat

Unwrap frozen burrito from foil and parchment and place onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Preheat oven to 375˚F and bake burritos for 15 minutes. Turn burritos for even crispness and continue to bake for an additional 8 to 10 minutes or until burrito filling has warmed through and cheese has melted.
