To prepare this burrito, you can use either a microwave or an oven. For microwave heating, remove any packaging and heat on high for a few minutes, turning halfway through, until thoroughly warmed. If using an oven, preheat to 350°F (175°C), wrap the burrito in foil, and bake for about 20-30 minutes, or until heated through. For a crispier exterior, you can unwrap it for the last few minutes of oven heating. It's best served immediately after heating.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike a deconstructed burrito kit, this product is fully assembled and ready to eat after heating. It differs from a frozen burrito by often being found in the refrigerated section, suggesting a shorter shelf life and potentially fresher ingredients. The filling proportions are fixed, unlike making one from scratch.

How to keep the rest
Keep this burrito refrigerated until ready to use. Once purchased, it should be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within the date indicated on the packaging. If you do not plan to eat it within a few days, it can be frozen for longer storage, though texture may change slightly upon thawing and reheating.
