They were really great. Do I fry them before they go to the freezer or after I thaw them out.
Fry them after you thaw them out.

wonderful. instead of rice I added red onion to the meat while it cooked. and it was easier to fry the burritos than expected. thanks for great recipe.
Great recipe. I brown the burritos with butter but will try a mix of oil and butter next time. Thanks.
What are the instructions for rolling a burrito? Mine always fall apart. Thanks.
Hi Becky! You want to make sure you fold inwards towards one side and then lay flat on a tray so that it will harden and keep a burrito like structure!
Fold the two outer sides in in and then flip the ends in and immediately put on the tray. Hope this helps!
These are great! Thanks for sharing!
Just a single guy that loves burritos–l added salsa & hot Italian sausage along with this recipe – I’m good for the week– Thanks for the freezing tips!!
