Can I use a different kind of beans for this recipe?

Yes, you can! If you're not a fan of refried beans, black beans, pinto beans, or even kidney beans work great. Just make sure to mash them up or warm them through to get the right texture.

Can I make these burritos ahead of time?

Definitely. You can assemble them, wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap, and freeze them. When you're ready to eat, just reheat in the microwave or oven. They’ll be just as delicious!

How do I store leftover burritos?

Store leftover burritos in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Reheat them in the microwave or on the stove to get the crispy exterior back.

Are these burritos gluten-free?

If you use gluten-free tortillas, yes! Just be sure to double-check the labels, as some tortillas do contain gluten. But most stores now carry gluten-free flour tortillas that work great.
