Storage & Reheating Tips
Store leftover breakfast burritos in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel until heated through, then finish in a skillet or air fryer to crisp the tortilla. For frozen breakfast burritos, thaw overnight in the fridge or reheat straight from frozen, adding additional time as needed.
