1. Brown the beef over medium-high heat until fully cooked. Add taco seasoning and a splash of water.

Storing And Reheating Tips

Freeze burritos individually in foil or parchment paper.
To reheat:

• Just microwave these for 2-3 minutes, one burrito at a time 

• For a crispy exterior, microwave for ~1-1.5 minutes to defrost, then air fry or pan fry until crispy 

Simplicity That Stays Strong

Not every meal has to reinvent dinner. Sometimes, sticking to the basics is exactly what keeps you on track. This burrito proves that simple is still smart.
