Tips and Tricks
Sautéing Vegetables
Ensure the vegetables are evenly chopped for uniform cooking. Sauté the vegetables until they are slightly tender but still vibrant in color, which enhances the flavor and texture of the burritos.
Cooking the Eggs
When adding the eggs and egg whites to the skillet, stir gently to create soft, fluffy scrambled eggs. Avoid overcooking as they will continue to cook slightly in the oven.
Adding Cheese and Cilantro
After removing the skillet from the heat, stir in the cheese and cilantro quickly. The residual heat will help melt the cheese and infuse the eggs with the cilantro flavor.
Rolling the Burritos
To make rolling easier, warm the tortillas slightly in the microwave or a dry skillet. This makes them more pliable and less likely to tear.
Baking the Burritos
Place the burritos seam-side down in the baking dish to prevent them from unrolling during baking. If you want a crispier texture, you can brush the tops with a bit of olive oil before baking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the burritos with salsa and sour cream on the side for dipping. You can also add some sliced avocado or a sprinkle of extra cheese on top before serving.
Customizing Fillings
Feel free to customize the fillings by adding ingredients like black beans, corn, or diced jalapeños for extra flavor and texture.
Storing Leftovers
Store any leftover burritos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
Freezing
These burritos freeze well. Wrap each burrito individually in foil or plastic wrap, then place in a freezer-safe bag. They can be frozen for up to three months. To reheat, unwrap and bake in a 350°F oven until heated through, or microwave on a microwave-safe plate.
Perfect for Meal Prep
These burritos are great for meal prep. Make a batch ahead of time, and you’ll have a quick and easy breakfast or lunch ready to go.
