# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • You'll stay genuinely full until lunch, no mid-morning energy crash chasing you.
  • It comes together faster than you'd expect, and tastes nothing like rushed food.
  • Everything is customizable, so it works whether you're feeding yourself or a crowd with different preferences.
02 -
  • Oversalting the vegetable mix happens to everyone—taste as you go, because you can always add salt to eggs but you can't take it out.
  • Seeding the tomato is not optional if you want a burrito that holds together; raw tomato juice will make everything soggy.
  • The difference between a good burrito and a great one is how tightly you roll it; loose burritos fall apart mid-bite.
03 -
  • Make the vegetable mixture the night before and reheat it in the morning; your future self will thank you on busy days.
  • Keep tortillas wrapped in a damp kitchen towel while you're assembling so they stay pliable and don't crack.
