how to serve Breakfast Burrito

Serve the burrito hot. Cut it in half to share or eat whole. Add salsa, slices of avocado, or a dash of hot sauce on the side. A fork and napkin help if fillings are soft.

how to store Breakfast Burrito

Wrap cooled burritos in foil or plastic wrap. Put them in the fridge for up to 3 days. To freeze, wrap tightly and place in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Reheat in a skillet or microwave. If frozen, thaw in the fridge first or reheat from frozen on low power then finish in a skillet.
