Tips and tricks

These suggestions should help you make the best vegan burritos:

• If you use the lentil walnut taco meat you will end up with extra. Freeze it for later or use it for meal prep!
• Soften the tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 30-45 seconds. Keep heating in 15 second increments to get them soft and pliable.
• To wrap the burrito, fold in the sides, then bring the bottom over the top of the ingredients and tuck around them tight as you roll the burrito closed.
• When grilling, place seam side down over medium low and grill for about 3-5 minutes until the edge is sealed. This helps make eating the burrito easier so it doesn’t fall apart, and also gives some great texture.
• To make these gluten-free, use a gluten-free tortilla. Make sure to get burrito sized.

Tips for freezing burritos

Prepare a bunch of extra burritos and save them for later! Easy ready made meals are the best. Here is how to freeze them:

1. Make the burritos and let them cool.
2. Wrap each one with parchment paper.
3. Then wrap with tin foil.
4. Put them in a plastic sealable freezer bag or wrap with plastic wrap.

When you're ready to eat, unwrap the frozen burrito. Then wrap it in a damp paper towel and heat in the microwave. Or you can unwrap it and put it in the tin foil and heat it in the oven
