Bean And Rice Burritos Freezer Meal Food

BEANS, RICE & CHEESE BURRITOS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Assemble the burritos by microwaving the flour tortilla for 20 seconds, and begin to layer burrito starting with refried beans, followed by the cooked rice and cheese.
• Fold in the left and right sides of the tortilla and roll it up from the bottom, tucking the bottom edge under the filling. Wrap in parchment paper and label. Freeze up to 1 month.
• To reheat from frozen, wrap the burrito in a damp paper towel and microwave for 2-3 minutes, flipping halfway or until the center is hot. Let stand 1 minute before eating.
• Enjoy!

BEEF, BLACK BEAN AND SPANISH RICE BURRITOS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350.
• 2. Start on the spanish rice first, as it will take the longest. In a pot, put rice, salsa and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium low and cover. Cook for about 17-19 minutes.
• 3. Begin to brown ground beef in a pan, add all seasoning and cook until browned. May need to drain fat, depending on how you like your beef. Don't worry about getting your meat a little spicier than you might normally like it, because combining all these will tame down your meat and make the overall meal better.
• 4. While the meat is browning you can start the beans. In a sauce pan, heat up the oil. I drain almost all of the liquid out of the can and put it the pan. I add the garlic powder after the beans and real garlic before.
• 5. When all are finished cooking, I mix in a large bowl and mix in the cheese. I spray a 9x13 pan. I fill the tortillas and wrap them up like burritos and put them in the pan. I put it in the oven for about 15 minutes. We usually just add salsa on top of it.
• 6. If you're going to freeze, put in a plastic bag and lay flat in the freezer. I would thaw them out the day you're going to cook them. You may need to cook them a little longer if they're cold out of the refrigerator.

VEGETARIAN BURRITOS RECIPE

Steps:

• Cook your quinoa/brown rice according to package instructions either on the stove top or in the microwave. I like just using microwavable packages to save time but you can do either. While to rice is cooking slice onion, peppers (removing ribs and seeds) into strips or a large dice.
• Add sliced onion, peppers, olive oil and taco seasoning to a small skillet and saute on medium heat for 5 minutes or until veggies are soft. Add corn to skillet and cook another 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Wrap tortillas in several damp paper towels and microwave for 30 seconds until warm. While the tortillas are warming open and rinse canned black beans.
• Once all your fillings are prepped it is time to fill the burritos. In the upper-center of a warm tortilla add 1/4 cup each of rice/quinoa, black beans, veggies, and cheese. Then a tbsp of taco sauce. You can add more cheese if you wish, and if you are substituting meat you will not need as much of the other ingredients.
• Once filled, fold sides of tortilla over on top of filling and roll the the tortilla away from you folding over on itself. Use your fingers to keep the sides secure and the filling in. Repeat filling and rolling until all tortillas are filled.
• Warm a skillet or grill pan on the stove top on medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Add burritos seam side down and cook 5 minutes until warm through then flip and repeat. Enjoy warm with optional extras, enjoy! See Recipe Notes for freezer storage options, and alternate cooking methods.

• Combine tomatoes, scallions, jalapeños and cilantro in a medium bowl.
• Mash beans with chili powder and cumin in a large bowl with a fork or potato masher until almost smooth. Add cheese and the tomato mixture and stir until combined. Spread about 1/2 cup of the filling mixture on the bottom third of each tortilla. Roll snugly, tucking in the ends as you go. Wrap each burrito in heavy-duty foil. Freeze for up to 3 months.
• To heat in the microwave: Unwrap a burrito and place on a microwave-safe plate. Cover with a paper towel and microwave on High until steaming hot throughout, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes.
• To heat over a campfire: Place foil-wrapped burrito on a cooking grate over a medium to medium-hot fire. Cook, turning once or twice, until steaming hot throughout, 5 to 10 minutes if partially thawed, up to 15 minutes if frozen.
