  • To make these burritos ahead of time: assemble the burritos as directed, except do not keep them warm in the oven. Instead, cover them and refrigerate until ready to serve. When you are ready to enjoy them, bake the burritos in an oven preheat to 325°F until tortilla edges are crispy and the filling registers 165°F when checked with a thermometer, 35 min. While the burritos are baking, prepare the salsa as directed.
