Tips
Don't overcook the scrambled eggs as they'll continue cooking when reheated, keeping them creamy prevents dry burritos.
Roll burritos tightly and wrap snugly to prevent freezer burn and maintain shape during storage.
Let cooked components cool slightly before assembling to prevent cheese from melting too much during wrapping.

FAQ
Can I make these burritos ahead without freezing?
Yes, assembled burritos can be refrigerated up to 1 day before serving. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or foil and reheat in microwave for 1-2 minutes.
What if I don't have tater tots?
Hash browns work perfectly as a substitute. Cook them until crispy and use the same amount as you would tater tots for similar texture and flavor.
How long do these keep in the refrigerator?
Cooked burritos stay fresh in the refrigerator for 3-4 days when properly wrapped. For longer storage, freezing is recommended for best quality and safety.
