First, unwrap that foil. I know it’s sacred, but foil traps steam and makes everything soggy. Plus, it keeps heat in longer.
Second, break it down. If you have a burrito, rip it apart. The sour cream and salsa get their own little corner. It’s less messy, and it cools faster.
Third, get it in the fridge within two hours. Set a timer if you have to. I’m serious. Your future self, rummaging for a snack at 2 AM, will be so proud of you.
But What If I Forgot It Overnight?
Oh, honey. I’ve been there too. You wake up in a panic, see the sad foil ball on the counter. The temptation is real.
Do not eat it. I don’t care if it’s a $10 burrito. A trip to the bathroom or worse, the hospital, will cost way more. Throw it away.
Chipotle is delicious, but it’s not worth a night of regret and a close relationship with your toilet. Trust me on this one.
