Questions about Egg burrito
How do you stop the eggs in an egg burrito becoming rubbery?
Scramble them gently over low to medium heat and take them off while still slightly glossy; they will finish cooking from residual heat. Let the filling cool briefly before wrapping so steam does not make the tortilla soggy.
What fillings go well in an egg burrito?
Black beans, grated cheese, sautéed peppers and onions, salsa and avocado all work well. Drain wet salsa and beans, and keep the filling modest so the tortilla rolls without splitting.
Can you freeze egg burritos?
Yes. Cool them, wrap each one tightly and freeze; for a better texture, leave out avocado and add salsa after reheating. Thaw in the fridge overnight, then heat until steaming hot throughout.
How long does an egg burrito keep in the fridge?
Refrigerate it within two hours of cooking and eat it within three to four days. Reheat until steaming hot throughout, turning it partway through if using a microwave.
How do you make an egg burrito crisp on the outside?
Once rolled, place it seam-side down in a lightly oiled frying pan over medium heat. Cook for two to three minutes per side, turning when the seam is sealed and the tortilla is golden.
How much energy is in a typical egg burrito?
A typical one weighs about 180 g and provides 448 kcal. The total depends on the tortilla and fillings, especially added cheese, oil and meat.
