Tips & Variations

  • Try adding black beans or corn for extra texture and flavor.
  • For a milder taste, reduce the amount of chipotle sauce or substitute with a creamy ranch dressing.
  • Use shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese instead of mozzarella for a different flavor profile.

Storage

Store any leftover burritos wrapped tightly in foil or plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven to keep the tortilla crisp, avoiding the microwave if possible to prevent sogginess.
