How to Make Crispy Bean and Cheese Burritos

- Then place a heaping ⅓ cup of the rice mixture over the beans.
- Divide the avocado over the six tortillas.

- Turn the burritos and cook another minute until golden brown.
- Repeat with 3 remaining burritos.
Storage Suggestions
Burritos can be stored in the following situations:
- Refrigerator: Once cooled down to room temperature, burritos can be stored in an airtight container for 4-5 days in the refrigerator.
- Freezer: Frozen burritos are best when enjoyed within one month, but they can last up to 3 months in the freezer.
Freezer Meal Prep
Once all the burritos are made and cool, wrap them tightly in aluminum foil. In addition, we wrap each burrito in plastic wrap over the aluminum foil. Then, place them in a freezer-safe Ziplock bag. Write the date and recipe name on the bag. Place in the freezer until you need them.
You can reheat burritos in the microwave or the oven. Microwave frozen burritos for 1-2 minutes. In the oven, you can reheat them them at 350℉ for 20-25 minutes. Burritos can either be wrapped in foil individually, or place foil over the whole pan. Burritos should be covered in foil for half the time it takes to reheat. Remove the foil half-way through the reheating process.
