How many burritos does this smoked salmon breakfast recipe make?
How many burritos you end up with will be determined by what size tortilla is used. If you use a large tortilla, you can make at least 4 burritos with this recipe.
If you use smaller tortillas, you may end up with more burritos. You can always adjust the amount of filling to make as many or as few burritos as needed!
here’s a tip!
When rolling your burrito, it’s important not to overfill it. This will prevent the fillings from falling out and make it easier to roll.
Another tip is to slightly warm up the tortilla before assembly. This will make it more pliable and less likely to tear when rolling.
