- Cook or heat through: For a crisp exterior, place the burritos seam side down in a lightly greased skillet over medium heat. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and lightly crisped. This step enhances texture and helps the cheese fully melt. Alternatively, you can wrap the burritos in foil and bake them at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes for a softer, evenly warmed version.
- Serve and enjoy: Remove from heat and let the burritos rest for a minute before slicing or serving whole. They can be served with extra ranch dressing for dipping, or with sides such as a fresh salad, roasted corn, or a handful of tortilla chips.
- Optional variation: Add a handful of chopped spinach or a few spoonfuls of cooked rice to the filling for extra texture and heartiness without changing the overall flavor profile.
Storage and Reheating Tips
Wrap leftover burritos tightly in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a skillet over low heat until heated through or microwave for about 1 minute, flipping halfway. For a make-ahead option, freeze the wrapped burritos for up to one month, then bake from frozen at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes.
