Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Make these ahead to eat for lunch or quick dinners on-the-go. Prepare burritos as directed but do not bake. Wrap each burrito in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 5 days. When ready to serve, remove plastic wrap and wrap burrito in paper towel. Microwave 1 burrito on High for 45 to 60 seconds or until hot and cheese is melted. For this recipe, use packaged shredded carrots to make it especially quick to prepare.
