Notes

*If reheating a frozen burrito, remove plastic and microwave for one minute, flip, top with hot sauce and cheese then microwave an additional 1 minute.
For a crispy shell, heat up a tablespoon of oil or butter in a pan over medium-high heat. Microwave burrito for just 1 minute before adding cheese or hot sauce. Then carefully transfer the heated burrito to the heated, greased pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned.
