Notes
To store, wrap the burritos tightly in foil or plastic wrap and place them in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
To reheat, microwave refrigerated burritos for 1–2 minutes or until warmed through. For frozen burritos, thaw overnight in the fridge and heat in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 10–15 minutes for a crispy texture.
