How to make breakfast burritos that don't get soggy? ›

There are a couple of ways you can ensure that your frozen breakfast burritos don't get soggy: Don't over-cook the eggs. Cooking eggs too long can cause them to “weep” or release moisture. To avoid this, cook them only until fluffy and no longer.

Eggs and meat in the burrito filling provide a healthy amount of protein. Eating burritos every morning can offer a good source of protein to develop muscle tissue if you are on a strict diet.

Tip: Overcooking can result in increasingly soggy burritos as the ingredients will continue to release more and more moisture with prolonged heat. Tip: If you have a food thermometer, you can take the temperature of your reheated burritos to know they are cooked completely when reheated to a temperature of 165°

These Breakfast Burritos will keep indefinitely in the freezer (but I recommend using them within 1 to 2 months for best quality). You can also keep them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Even though burritos are also made with tortillas, these tortillas are larger and thicker than those used for wraps. Traditional burritos use wheat flour tortillas, which are heartier and can hold more substantial fillings without tearing.

You could also make a chickpea omelette and use that as the egg substitute in this burrito. Potatoes: Try swapping out the potatoes for roasted sweet potatoes. If you don't want to use potatoes at all you can also swap this ingredient out for some roasted cauliflower that will add some heartiness to the burrito.

BREAKFAST BURRITO SAUCE

You can use sour cream, ketchup, guacamole, hot sauce or my Creamy Salsa, consisting of: What is this? To make the Breakfast Burrito Sauce, simply mix all of the ingredients together and chill in the refrigerator.

Tortilla sizes vary by manufacturer, but for breakfast burritos that can be eaten with one hand (without losing filling), look for flour tortillas in the 10- to 12-inch range.

Reheat by removing the aluminum foil, placing burrito on a microwave-safe plate, and covering it with a paper towel. Heat in the microwave until evenly warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.

Can I eat a 3 day old burrito? ›

Leftovers can be kept for 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator. After that, the risk of food poisoning goes up. If you don't think you'll be able to eat leftovers within four days, freeze them right away.

If you reheat food that was forgotten on the counter overnight or was left out all day, will it be safe to eat? TWO HOURS is the MAXIMUM time perishable foods should be at room temperature (ONE HOUR at temperatures 90 degrees F and higher). This INCLUDES the time they're on the table during your meal.

Cilantro lime dressing is my favorite, because its zesty, fresh flavor accents the hearty ingredients inside the burritos. If you don't have any on hand, or if you don't feel like making it, serve the burritos with hot sauce, Greek yogurt or sour cream, or spoonfuls of tomatillo salsa.

Using corn tortillas instead is a good first step, but another crucial way to prevent an overly soggy burrito is to toast the whole thing in an oiled pan to toughen up the tortilla.

Toasting. Packaged bread from the supermarket often benefits from being toasted. To prevent your sandwich from getting soggy, try lightly toasting just one side of the bread in your toaster oven, and let that toasted side serve as the inside of your sandwich.

Foil in the microwave can cause a fire! Lay a damp paper towel over the burrito. The damp paper towel will help your burrito heat up evenly and prevent it from getting soggy. Microwave the burrito on medium for 2 minutes.

Reheat in the oven at 350° or the microwave. If using the oven, wrap the burrito in a piece of foil to keep it from drying out. The time will depend on how big yours are. In the oven it will be about 25 minutes and in the microwave about 5 minutes.
