Overstuffing the Burrito – Adding too many ingredients makes rolling difficult and leads to a messy, falling-apart burrito. Keep portions balanced for a perfect wrap.
Skipping a Warm Tortilla – A cold tortilla is prone to cracking. Lightly warm it on a skillet or in the microwave for easy folding and a better texture.
Using Too Many Wet Ingredients – Ingredients like salsa or sour cream can make the burrito soggy. Add them sparingly or serve on the side.
Not Layering Properly – Placing wet fillings directly on the tortilla can cause leaks. Start with cheese or eggs as a barrier to keep the burrito intact.
Ignoring the Toasting Step – Skipping the final pan-sear leaves your burrito soft and flimsy. Toasting it adds a crispy texture and helps seal the edges.
Making It Too Far in Advance – Pre-made burritos can get mushy. If meal prepping, wrap them in foil and reheat properly to maintain texture and flavor.
Avoid these common mistakes to enjoy a perfectly wrapped, flavorful, and satisfying breakfast burrito every time!
