How to Freeze Breakfast Burritos
Cool
The most important step: Allow the ingredients to fully cool. If the ingredients are still hot, the burrito will be soggy.
Place Cheese First
When building the burrito, place the cheese first to create a barrier between the other ingredients and the tortilla.
Freeze Separately First
Place the burritos on a cookie sheet, and place in the freezer. Leave for a couple of hours. This prevents them from freezing together.
Place in Freezer Bag
Put the burritos in a freezer bag.
How to Reheat
Place on a cookie sheet and bake in a 350 degree F oven for 13 to 16 minutes, or until heated through, or microwave for 2 to 4 minutes, or until heated through.
