Avoiding freezing with the tomato, ranch dressing and avocado as they do not freeze well and will create a soggy burrito.

HOW TO REHEAT IT?
Fridge – Reheat it in the microwave on high between 1-2 minutes. Ensure that the beef is heated to 165°F for food safety. Use a thermometer for accurate readings.
Freezer – Defrost in the fridge overnight and reheat it in the microwave. If you choose to microwave it frozen, you will need to do so for twice as long or until full heated. Alternatively, preheat your oven to 350°F and bake the frozen burritos already wrapped in foil for 30-40 minutes.
