Freezer Bean Burritos

8/7/2016

Back to school is nuts so one of the things that we do to prepare is prep some make-ahead meals. One of our favorite things is an easy portable wrap or burrito. Today after church we came home and all pitched in to make some bean and cheese burritos.

Here's how:
Ingredients
Press and Seal
1 pk 10 Tortillas
1 lg can Refried Beans
1 can of diced tomatoes (spiced) or Salsa
1 pkg taco seasoning
shredded cheese, to your hearts desire

To start, we typically cut 10 pieces of press and seal paper and lay them all over the table. Then we put a tortilla on each of the press and seal sheets. In a bowl combine the can of beans and diced tomatoes or your favorite salsa and stir in a package of taco seasoning.

Spread the bean mixture into the middle of the burrito and top with shredded cheese. Tuck the ends of the  tortilla in and roll. The press and seal should make this process easier to make a good tight roll. A good tight burrito makes sure that all your bean-y goodness stays put inside.

As soon as they are rolled, stack them in zip-top freezer bags. This method is particularly helpful if you’re going to pack a few burritos for work or school. It also gives you an extra layer of protection against burritos freezing together.

This is such an easy recipe, that the kids can help. They can do it all! I split up tasks and ask each one to do some part of the chore: read and help everyone follow the directions, shred the cheese, roll the burritos, wrap them up and label the freezer bag.

​Defrost Instructions: Place the desired number of burritos in the fridge overnight and warm in the oven at 350F before serving. Or you can defrost, straight from the freezer, in the microwave or oven. Burritos can be warmed for 10-15 minutes in the oven or 2 minutes in the microwave.

​Microwave Baking Instructions: Pull 1-3 burritos out of the freezer, stick on a microwave-safe plate, and warm in the microwave on 50% heat for 2-3 minutes.
