What is burrito seasoning made of? ›

Burrito Seasoning:

1 tsp each onion powder , dried oregano, salt. 2 tsp each dried cumin powder , paprika. 1/4 tsp black pepper. ¼ tsp cayenne pepper , or to taste (optional)

Bean and Beef: As burrito filling ideas come, this one is a classic. Add minced or shredded beef to your burrito with Mexican spice seasonings, refried beans, shredded cheese, chopped tomatoes, onions and a large tablespoon of salsa! Chicken Verde: Cook some chicken breasts or thighs with some green salsa.

Load up on vegetables: Don't forget to add veggies. Pack your burrito to the brim with shredded lettuce, diced or pickled onions, cilantro, diced tomato, avocado, or sweet corn. Make it saucy: For another layer of flavor top your burritos with pico de gallo, copycat Chipotle corn salsa or gooey queso blanco.

We chose strip steak, which is both naturally lean and quick to prepare if you slice it thinly before cooking. We opted for 12 ounces of steak in this recipe for four servings which saves on calories and helps prevent the burrito from becoming over-stuffed and messy to eat.

Why do burritos get soggy? ›

It's common for breakfast burritos to be a bit soggy after reheating them, so we suggest that you make sure the eggs (and any other hot fillings) cool down before placing them in the tortilla. Cooling the hot fillings releases moisture prior to rolling them in a tortilla—an important step for preventing sogginess.
