Best ways to enjoy it
To elevate your breakfast burrito experience, consider serving them with a side of fresh fruit or crispy hash browns. You could also pair these burritos with a refreshing smoothie or an iced coffee for a well-rounded meal! For a fun twist, try slicing them in half to reveal the hearty filling and serve with additional salsa or guacamole on the side.
Keeping leftovers fresh
If you find yourself with leftovers—or want to meal prep these burritos for busy mornings—store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the burritos. Wrap each burrito in foil and place them in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Remember to label with the date!
For reheating, simply microwave the burrito for about 1-2 minutes from the fridge or 3-4 minutes from frozen, until hot.
