Easy Mini Burritos
I am a lover of all things flavorful and adding the extra ingredients for these Mini Burritos just makes them even better for everyone to enjoy! Reynolds Wrap is my very best friend when I am in the kitchen. I love that it can be warmed up or cooled down in temperature depending on what I am using it for. It is perfect for covering dishes, lining baking pans, storing leftover foods in the refrigerator or freezer and baking at high temperatures. I love how it molds to any shape I am using it for. It has made my life easier in the preparing, cooking and storing of our meals. The box is easy to use with a simple glide that makes a perfect cut every time. When not in use there is a stay closed tab that locks in the wrap and avoids any mess when being stored.
Reynolds Wrap is just what I needed when baking these Mini Burritos. I used the standard foil for a multiple purpose function from preparing the burritos to rolling them up and finishing them by shaping them with the foil around each burrito to hold them in place and lock in the flavors. No burrito can be left without the cheese and with this baking method the cheese adds the perfect warm touch that leaves your mouth enjoying bite after bite. These are best served warm with the Reynolds Wrap around them. This will maintain the warm, melted cheese and comfort of a Mini Burrito. You will not want to make a burrito any other way after this!

- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown ground chicken along with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder and salt. Once cooked remove from heat and set aside.

- Repeat the above steps with remaining ingredients.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Arrange aluminum wrapped burritos on a baking sheet and bake on center rack for 20 minutes.

Can you Freeze Mini Burritos?
Yes, you can! It is perfect for meal prep too. Double your recipe and make a batch just for freezing. Prepare them the same with the Reynolds Wrap and store in the freezer for up to 1 month. Aluminum foil has the lowest moisture-vapor transfer rate of all wrapping materials. This means that it is the most effective in preventing the loss of moisture and vapor from the food. This is the reason why foil is preferred over plastic wrap for long-term food storage or freezing. Heavy duty foil is also recommended when freezing meals. This kind of foil offers extra protection from freezer burn when wrapping foods for freezer storage.
