# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The combination of golden mushrooms and sweet corn creates pockets of flavor in every bite
  • These come together in under 40 minutes but taste like they took all day
  • Perfect for meal prep and they actually taste even better the next day
02 -
  • Overstuffing seems like a good idea until everything spills out during rolling, so show some restraint
  • Warming your tortillas is not optional, cold tortillas will crack and ruin your burrito experience
  • Letting the filling cool slightly makes it easier to handle and prevents burning your fingers while rolling
03 -
  • Squeeze excess moisture from mushrooms after slicing to prevent soggy burritos
  • Sprinkle cheese on the tortilla first, then hot filling, so it melts perfectly against the warm tortilla
