Questions about Sausage burrito
What usually goes in a sausage burrito?
A sausage burrito typically wraps cooked sausage, scrambled egg and cheese in a flour tortilla; some versions add beans, potatoes, salsa or vegetables. Warm the filling before wrapping so the tortilla stays pliable and the centre is hot.
How do you make a sausage burrito at home?
Brown crumbled sausage in a frying pan, cook scrambled egg in the same pan, then add cheese and any cooked beans or potatoes. Spoon the filling into a warm tortilla, fold in the sides and roll it tightly; toast it seam-side down for a minute to seal.
How do you reheat a sausage burrito without making the tortilla soggy?
For a chilled burrito, microwave it briefly until hot throughout, then crisp the outside in a dry frying pan for a minute or two on each side. If reheating from frozen, thaw it in the fridge first or use a microwave’s defrost setting before crisping.
Can you freeze sausage burritos?
Yes. Cool the cooked filling, wrap each burrito snugly, and freeze it in an airtight container. Thaw in the fridge before reheating, and eat refrigerated leftovers within two days.
