Notes
Store. Wrap each burrito in plastic wrap and place them in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days. Reheat in the microwave.
Freezer meal. Wrap each burrito with plastic again with aluminum foil and freeze for up to 6 months.
- Oven. Remove the plastic, but then rewrap them with only the foil. Bake at 400°F for about 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 8-12 minutes.
- Microwave. Thaw, poke holes with a fork, wrap with a damp paper towel, and heat for 1-2 minutes until warm throughout.
