Burritos are a delicious traditional Mexican dish that can be made with all different types of meat, from chicken to beef. However, this burrito recipe is a bit different. I wanted to make it healthier, so I used smoked salmon, some veggies, and eggs to make healthy breakfast burritos.
In fact, these burritos are so tasty that you can serve them at any time of the day. They are also an excellent freezer standby, and they reheat really well.

Top Tips
If you are going to freeze the burritos, I suggest not to add the sour cream over the tortillas so it doesn’t become soggy.
Don't overstuff the tortillas or it will make it harder for you to roll them.
To freeze the burritos, roll them up in foil or parchment paper. Put them in a Ziplock bag and keep in the freezer until you need them.
To reheat the burritos, defrost them and put in the oven or microwave for 1-2 minutes.
