    Breakfast burritos sound interesting - how do you heat them in the morning? :)

    Microwave at work, they get wrapped in a piece of kitchen roll and then clingfilm. They turned out well.

    I would quite like to try them and as you say you heat them at work you've given me an idea to see if my wife would like to take one to work to try (got to be cheaper than a caf! lunch). :)

    I presume you don't heat with the kitchen roll and cling film on? Could I heat in the oven?

    I'd take the clingfilm off, although many types will be microwave safe (we're talking 1.5-2 minutes). Oven? Maybe, but seems like you're abandoning convenience, which is pretty much the name of the game. If not microwaving, reheating over a medium heat pan would probably be the next best option.

    Referred another MSE user to RateSetter :j

    Have started using MFP again as part of my drive to get back into better habits - my God it's boring until you get back into the swing of things! :eek:

    Breakfast burrito very tasty, although could have used an extra 30 seconds in the microwave.

    Thank you. :)

    I'll see if my wife wants to try taking one to work. :)

    This probably sounds rather dumb but the filling of a burrito is wrapped in a tortilla wrap, isn't it? That's where I got the oven idea from so I could try for my lunch as I don't know what a microwaved tortilla wrap would be like to eat?

    I've found the trick is to microwave the tortilla with a damp piece of kitchen roll. That prevents it from drying out/cracking when you reheat it. I usually just place it on the kitchen roll so that there's less to peel off when it's super hot and burning my fingers.
