Best ways to enjoy it
To truly elevate your breakfast burrito experience, consider serving it with a side of crispy hash browns or some fresh fruit. A dollop of guacamole or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro can also enhance the flavors. If you want to keep it classic, some homemade salsa on the side pairs perfectly and adds a refreshing kick!
Storage and reheating tips
If you find yourself with leftovers, don’t worry—they can be easily stored! Place your burritos in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. For longer storage, consider wrapping each burrito in plastic wrap and freezing them for up to a month. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through to ensure the best taste.
