Cool any leftover burritos to room temperature. Wrap them in foil or plastic wrap and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. To freeze, wrap tightly and place in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave until hot inside. For extra cheesiness, add cheese inside and on top of the burrito.
