Step 6

In a large skillet over medium high heat add 1 tbsp of oil and add in the peppers and onions. Allow them to cook down and soften. Season lightly with salt early to help encourage some of the water to be released faster.

Step 9

You can cook the eggs in the same skillet or in a separate one at the same time as the vegetables cook. If you use the same skillet, create some room in the center to cook the eggs.

Add in 1 tbsp of oil and pour the eggs into the center to make scrambled eggs. Cook them for a few minutes until they have finished.

Step 13

I made 17 burritos out of this recipe using 9 inch tortillas. You may yield more or less.

Step 14

Measure out 1 cup (120g) of shredded cheese.

Step 15

Lay out some tortillas on your work space and place a couple of large spoonfuls of the filling on top of each. I used about 70-80g of filling for each burrito.

Step 16

Add about 1 tbsp of shredded cheese to the top of the filling and roll the burrito up by folding in the sides first, then rolling the center over the top. Repeat until all of your filling is used up.

Step 17

If you are going to vacuum seal these, place the burritos onto a sheet pan or in a baking dish as you finish them. Flash freeze the burritos by placing them into your freezer, uncovered, for a few hours until they are frozen solid. If you don't plan on vacuum sealing you can just roll them in foil or place them in a zip top bag.

Step 18

Once the burritos have frozen solid, place them into your vacuum bags and remove the air. Store in your freezer.

Step 19

To reheat, I recommend wrapping the burrito inside of a damp paper towel and microwaving for 60-75 seconds or until it is hot in the center.
