  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • Eggs: 6 large

Notes

  • For longer storage, wrap cooled burritos individually in foil, then place in a freezer bag, removing as much air as possible.
  • Reheat frozen burritos in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, flipping halfway, or bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve your burrito with a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra protein and a cool, tangy contrast to the warm filling.
  • Don't overcook the eggs; slightly underdone eggs stay softer in the burrito and reheat better, so pull them from the heat just before they look fully set.
