To reheat the Frozen Breakfast Burritos in the microwave, start by removing the foil. Wrap the frozen burrito in a damp paper towel and place it on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave the burritos for 2-4 minutes until heated through. Discard the paper towel and serve. You could also place the burritos on a baking sheet and heat them in the oven at 350 degrees until warmed through for 25-30 minutes frozen, or about 7-10 minutes thawed. Thaw the burrito overnight in the fridge, and cook on stovetop with medium heat till warmed through, about 5 minutes on each side.
