Cooking and Serving Tips
• Tortilla Warming: For a more pliable tortilla, warm it in the microwave for a few seconds or on a dry skillet before assembling.
• Add-Ins: Feel free to add cooked bacon, sausage, or black beans for extra protein and flavor.
• Cheese Melting: If you prefer melted cheese, you can place the assembled burrito back in the skillet and heat it for a minute on each side.
