Yes, they are perfect for meal prep. Assemble the burritos (without searing), let them cool completely, then wrap individually and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
From refrigerated, you can microwave for 1-2 minutes or pan-sear until warm. From frozen, it's best to thaw overnight in the fridge first. Alternatively, unwrap from plastic/foil and bake in an oven or air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes until hot and crispy.
Authentic New Mexican Hatch green chiles are the gold standard for their unique, smoky flavor. If you can't find them, roasted Anaheim or poblano peppers are good substitutes. You can use canned, frozen, or freshly roasted chiles.
