# Helpful Hints:

01 -
  • Everything cooks in one skillet, which means less cleanup and more time to actually enjoy your meal.
  • The combination of smoky spices, earthy mushrooms, and sweet corn creates layers of flavor that feel indulgent without being heavy.
  • You can wrap these up and take them anywhere, or sit down and savor them fresh off the stove.
  • It works beautifully whether you are cooking for one or feeding a crowd on short notice.
02 -
  • Do not skip warming the tortillas, cold ones will crack the moment you try to fold them and your filling will spill everywhere.
  • Let the mushrooms cook undisturbed for a minute or two before stirring, this is how they develop that beautiful golden color instead of just sweating out water.
  • Taste the filling before you assemble, this is your chance to adjust the salt, lime, or spice level without having to unwrap a burrito later.
03 -
  • If you want a vegan version, use plant based cheese and skip the sour cream, the filling is so flavorful it doesn't need dairy to shine.
  • For a gluten free option, simply swap in your favorite gluten free tortillas, everything else stays exactly the same.
  • Grilling the assembled burritos seam side down not only seals them shut, it adds a satisfying crunch that makes each bite even better.
