Notes

Note 1 - Spinach

You can also use fresh spinach, but I would recommend sautee-ing first to remove the excess moisture as this can make the burrito squishy.

Storing

Wrap individually in parchment paper or aluminium foil, store in fridge for 4 days.

Reheating

Unwrap and microwave burritos for 1–2 minutes, flipping halfway, or heat in a skillet/sandwich press for a crispier exterior.

Freezing

Wrap burritos in parchment, foil or plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
