INVENTORY LIST
MEAL PREP LOGISTICS
- Storage: Freeze individually wrapped burritos for up to 3 months. Refrigerate unwrapped burritos for up to 4 days.
- Batching: Press the tofu for 15 minutes before crumbling to remove excess water — it scrambles better and has more texture.
- Reheat: Remove foil and wrap in a damp paper towel. Microwave for 2–3 minutes from frozen, flipping halfway. For a crispy exterior, finish in a dry skillet for 1 minute per side.
