# Expert Advice:
01 -
- You get all the comfort of pizza with the portable convenience of a burrito
- The tortilla crisps up beautifully while keeping that melty cheese center intact
02 -
- Overfilling the burritos causes them to burst during cooking so resist the urge to stuff them too full
- Letting them rest for two minutes after cooking helps the cheese set slightly so they hold together better when you bite in
03 -
- Room temperature tortillas roll more easily without cracking so let them sit out for 15 minutes before starting
- Using low moisture mozzarella makes a huge difference in preventing soggy burritos
