- Look for strawberries that are bright in color and fragrant in smell to get the best flavor.
- Make sure to get soft flour tortillas that are 10 inches in size for the best burrito shape.
- Substitute the flour tortillas with whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option. The benefit of this substitution is that it will increase the fiber content of the dish and make it more nutritious.
- Substitute the confectioners sugar with brown sugar for a richer flavor. The benefit of this substitution is that it will add a deeper, caramel-like flavor to the dish and make it more indulgent.
Chocolate Strawberry Burritos Replace the confectioners' sugar with 1/2 cup of cocoa powder. Mix the cocoa powder with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Follow remaining steps as listed.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Burritos Replace the confectioners' sugar with 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. Mix the chocolate chips with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Follow remaining steps as listed.
Vanilla Ice Cream: The creamy, smooth texture of vanilla ice cream pairs perfectly with the sweet, juicy strawberries in the burritos. It adds a nice contrast to the crunchy, sugary tortillas and provides a cool and refreshing finish to the dish.
Fruit Salad: A light and refreshing fruit salad is the perfect accompaniment to the burritos. The mix of sweet and tart flavors from the fruit will provide a nice contrast to the savory and sweet flavors of the burritos. It also adds a colorful and nutritious element to the meal, making it a great choice for a healthy and delicious side dish.
