Notes
- Make-ahead: You can prepare the burrito filling and roll the burritos a day in advance. Store them in the refrigerator until ready to bake.
- Storage: Leftover burritos can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Substitutions: For a vegetarian option, use lentils instead of black beans. For a gluten-free version, use corn tortillas.
