Recipe FAQs

Can I freeze my breakfast burritos?

Absolutely! Make several ahead of time to have for breakfast on those busy mornings. To freeze, wrap each burrito individually in a paper towel followed by plastic wrap. You can freeze these burritos for up to 3 months. When you are ready to eat them, just reheat your frozen burritos in the microwave for 1 1/2 minutes.

How do I keep my burritos from falling apart?

It’s definitely more fun to eat a burrito that is intact instead of one that is falling apart. Try warming up the tortilla a little before adding the filling ingredients. Don’t overstuff. If there is too much inside the burrito it can easily fall apart. When you are ready to roll up the burrito, first fold one edge over the filling and tightly roll the burrito. Not rolling tightly enough can also lead to the burrito falling apart.
