Swaps and Substitutions for Freezer Burritos
Each layer is pretty flexible.
Feel free to play around with the exact ingredients in each layer.
Then add your fillings to the lower third of the tortilla.

This will keep the burrito together and will also keep the ingredients tightly sealed inside.
Its ready to freeze!
it’s possible for you to freeze them individually or stick all the burritos in a freezer safe bag.

How to Reheat Frozen Burritos
There are two ways to reheat frozen burritos.
Oven Method:Just pop the burrito (in the foil) into a 400F preheated oven.
Tortilla chips are always a good match.

Use them to scoop up any fillings that spill out!
Cover with 1 inch of cold water and place over medium heat.
Once the rice is simmering, give it a stir, turn heat down to low, and cover.

Cook until rice has absorbed the water and is tender, 15-20 minutes.
Return to the stove off heat, cover, and let the rice steam for 5 minutes.
Stir in cilantro and lime juice.

Cook until veggies start to caramelize in places and soften, about 15 minutes.
Transfer veggies into a bowl and set aside.
Cook for 4-5 minutes until tomatillos start to break down.

Use the back of a fork to mash them slightly.
Then remove from heat and scoop into another bowl.
Tear off 8 pieces of aluminum foil large enough to wrap a filled burrito.
Simply Recipes / Nick Evans
Wrap a stack of flour tortillas in a damp paper towel.
Heat them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds until they are warm and pliable.
Place the stack next to the foil.
Take one tortilla from the stack and keep the remaining wrapped.
Place it on top of a piece of foil.
Leave space at each end.
Once formed, wrap the burrito in heavy-duty aluminum foil.
Repeat with all burritos.
To reheat a burrito in the microwave, unwrap it from foil and place on a microwave safe plate.
Microwave on defrost for 7 minutes per side or until the burrito is completely thawed.
To reheat in an oven, preheat to 400F.
Place the wrapped burrito on a baking sheet and directly in the oven for 45 minutes.
Remove and unwrap burrito.
Return back to oven for 10 minutes for a crispy tortilla.
Serve burritos with sour cream and guacamole.
