Tips

NoteDon't overcook the eggs — they're much nicer inside the burrito when still soft.
NoteCool completely before wrapping any for the freezer, or the steam will make them soggy.
NoteReheat frozen burritos in the microwave, then finish in a skillet to bring back the crisp.

Nutrition

NoteNutrition varies by ingredient brands and serving size.

Storage

FreezerWrap cooled burritos individually in foil and freeze up to 3 months; reheat from frozen in the microwave, then crisp in a skillet.

Frequently asked

Can I freeze them?+

Yes — that's the point. Cool fully, wrap tightly, and freeze; they reheat beautifully in about 2 minutes in the microwave plus a skillet minute.

How do I keep the tortilla from tearing?+

Warm the tortillas first — cold tortillas crack at the fold. A few seconds in a dry skillet or wrapped in a damp towel works.

Can I add beans?+

Absolutely — a few spoonfuls of black beans or pinto beans slide right in with the vegetables.
