Preheat Oven:

Tips:
- Customize your burritos with additional ingredients like diced bell peppers, onions, or black beans for added flavor and nutrition.
- For a spicier kick, opt for a hot variety of salsa or add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes to the meat mixture.
- These breakfast burritos freeze well! Wrap them individually in plastic wrap and foil, then store in a freezer bag for up to one month. Reheat in the microwave or oven for a quick and satisfying breakfast on busy mornings.
