To warm the burritos

  • Toaster Oven (my favorite method) - I remove the burrito from the freezer and remove plastic wrap. Put on a plate and cover with a paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds, then put in the toaster oven on high heat for 10 minutes, flipping half way through, until both sides start to brown slightly. Please note that my toaster oven takes 10 min, but the one at work takes 5, so check after 5 minute for doneness, all toaster ovens are difference
  • Microwave - put a burrito on a plate and microwave on high, covered in a paper, towel for 1 minute, then flip the burrito and microwave for an additional minute. Let sit in the microwave for one minute, then remove and enjoy. Sometimes I've had to microwave for an additional 30 seconds if the burrito is really stuffed!
