Recipe FAQs
Absolutely! Make several ahead of time to have for breakfast on those busy mornings. To freeze, wrap each burrito individually in a paper towel followed by plastic wrap. You can freeze these burritos for up to 3 months. When you are ready to eat them, just reheat your frozen burritos in the microwave for 1 1/2 minutes.
It’s definitely more fun to eat a burrito that is intact instead of one that is falling apart.
Try warming up the tortilla a little before adding the filling ingredients. Don’t overstuff. If there is too much inside the burrito it can easily fall apart. When you are ready to roll up the burrito, first fold one edge over the filling and tightly roll the burrito. Not rolling tightly enough can also lead to the burrito falling apart.
Expert Tips
- To help ensure you get a little bit of everything in each bite, you can mix the scrambled eggs, cheese, and bacon together in a bowl. Then scoop the egg mixture onto the tortilla and top with avocado slices. This will help to more evenly distribute all of the flavors for each bite.
- We recommend waiting until your burritos are fully assembled and ready to go before adding any sauce. It is easy to dip your burrito in sauce since you won’t have to worry about your hot sauce or salsa seeping through the tortilla and making it soggy.
- Other cheeses you can use include pepper jack, colby jack, and monterey jack.
- Cooking your burrito in a pan helps seal the burrito shut and gives it a nice crunch. Or just cook it flat so it’s breakfast quesadilla style!
