Notes

Store for later. To refrigerate or freeze for later, wrap each burrito in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for up to a week, or place in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to six months. 
To reheat. When ready to reheat, unwrap the plastic wrap, wrap the burrito in a paper towel, and microwave for 1-2 minutes, until heated through.
