Notes

Make-ahead instructions:

You can make this vegetarian breakfast burrito ahead of couple different ways. First, you can prepare the filling and then store it in a container in the refrigerator. Put the burritos together each morning. Warm up the filling in the microwave before filling the tortilla.

Second, you can prepare the burritos completely and then wrap in plastic wrap or foil and store in the refrigerator for a 2-3 days or freeze. Remove plastic wrap or foil and then heat in the microwave 1-3 minutes or until heated through.
