Special Precautions and Tips:
- Be sure to brown the ground beef thoroughly to prevent any pink or undercooked meat from remaining.
- If you don't have taco seasoning mix on hand, you can make your own by combining the following spices: 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- To freeze the burritos, wrap them individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They will keep for up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw the burritos overnight in the refrigerator or microwave them on defrost for 3-4 minutes per burrito.
