Wow!! Common sense tells me that unless I want a "Burrito Popsicle" I best zap it in the microwave. I have solved the soggy tortilla problem that happens when you heat frozen burritos by wrapping frozen burrito a couple sheets of paper towel before warming. It absorbs the steam leaving you with a nice dry burrito. Thanks for sharing a wonderful combination of ingredients with us.

I love to try new recipes, and this is a wonderful site to find new additions. I rarely make the same thing twice because it's so much fun to try something different. My life long dream is to travel the world and eat my way around it.
