Prepare your fillings
Cook your meat, scramble your eggs, saute your vegetables, and warm your beans. Let everything cool completely before assembling the burritos.
Assemble the burritos
Lay out a tortilla and add your desired fillings. Start with a base of rice or potatoes for substance, and then add your proteins, vegetables, and cheese.
Wrap it up
Fold the bottom of the tortilla over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll up tightly insecure with a toothpick if needed.
Freeze
Wrap each burrito individually in plastic wrap or aluminium foil. Place them in a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
Reheat
To reheat, microwave for 1-2 minutes or until heated through. For a crispier tortilla, warm it up in a skillet with a little oil.
