  1. Any advice on how to heat the burritos from frozen and keep them from getting soggy? I have tried these as well as just cooking the fillings and freezing them without the tortilla. Thank you!

    1. Cheryl, I like to heat them up in the oven. Basically I preheat the oven when I first wake up and then I bake them at about 400 while I’m making coffee and going through the routine. In past I’ve also reheated on a skillet too that gives it more of a crust on the outside which is still delicious.

    2. Hi Cheryl,I wrap all my burritos in those foil sheets from Sam’s and heat them in the oven (still in the foil) straight from frozen at about 400 – 425 for about 20 minutes.I’ve found that microwaving doesn’t heat them through without making the tortilla tough and chewy. So I use my toaster oven on the convection setting (no pre-heating required) and just set the time and temp before I get in the shower. It usually takes us about 45 minutes to get out the door, and they’re still warm and soft and melty (is that a word?) by the time we leave for school.

    1. Kim– it depends on the microwave, but if they are thawed first, I’d start with 30 seconds and increase time as needed, until they are heated throughout.

  3. I’ve done this with non- breakfast filling and frozen, when they are close to being “too long in the freezer” (cause my family eats in spurts, either loving them and they are gone or tired of them and they last longer) you can add them frozen in a casserole dish, pour enchilada sauce over them w/ some crumbled up mexican cheese (whatever kind you like) and bake @375 until heated through. Serve with spanish rice and a salad! 🙂 yum!*though these with egg would be a great protein source instead of adding a meat to it, this way it keeps it a meatless meal and lighter on the budget 😉
