How Long Does This Beef Fajita Recipe Last in the Refrigerator?
The Beef Fajita Breakfast Burritos will last in the refrigerator for up to three days. Be sure that the burritos are stored in an air tight container or wrap each one individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
Can I Freeze Beef Fajita Breakfast Burritos
You can freeze these breakfast burritos and store them in a freezer-safe bag for up to two months. I like to freeze them separately first before placing them together in a bag or I wrap each one individually. This lets me take one burrito out at a time instead of having to worry that they will be stuck together when frozen.
How Long Does This Beef Fajita Recipe Last in the Freezer?
The Beef Fajita Breakfast Burritos can be frozen and stored for two months. Simply cover them with plastic, then wrap tightly with aluminum. You can also keep them together in a freezer bag.
How Do You Reheat Breakfast Burritos?
If you are reheating from a frozen, it is best to microwave the burrito for 90 seconds. You can also wrap them in foil and reheat them in the oven at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes.
If the breakfast burrito is not frozen, you can reheat them directly in the oven. No need to use the microwave the burrito first.
What Type of Tortilla Do I Use For Breakfast Burritos?
The type of tortilla you use is really up to personal preference. I personally like to use flour tortillas because I like that they are soft, pliable and I prefer the flavor. You can use corn if you prefer the taste or need a gluten free option. However, they will most likely be breakfast tacos.
How Do You Keep Burritos From Getting Soggy?
I know that soggy burritos are the worst! There are a couple of things you can do to make sure your burrito stays crispy.
First, make sure there isn’t too much liquid in your filling. The tortillas hold up well, but if there is too much liquid, the tortilla will get soggy.
Also, I recommend making sure the tortilla is completely cool before wrapping it in plastic and tin foil, then placing them all together inside ziplock bags for freezing.
This is also why I recommend reheating the burrito in the oven. It is the best way to make sure the tortilla has that bit of crispiness to it as well as keeping the entire thing from being soggy and falling apart. Or the air fryer is another option for reheating these delicious breakfast burritos.
