Recipe FAQs

→ Can I make these burritos ahead of time?

Yes, these burritos are designed to be made in advance. After assembling, wrap them tightly and freeze for up to a month. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.

→ What type of sausage works best?

Breakfast pork or turkey sausage works well. Remove casings before cooking to ensure even browning and texture.

→ How can I keep the tortillas from getting soggy?

Allow all fillings to cool completely before assembling. Warming tortillas briefly helps prevent sogginess by making them pliable.

→ Can I substitute the cheese?

Absolutely! Pepper jack or Monterey Jack cheeses add a spicy twist, while cheddar provides classic flavor.

→ Is there a vegetarian option available?

Yes, omit the sausage and add black beans or extra vegetables to maintain a hearty filling.
