Freezer Burritos Recipe

Freezer burritos are one of the most convenient foods that I can make at home. Perfect for lunches and/or quick dinners. Freeze them after you make them and microwave before you sere them!

The amounts listed are approximate. I pretty much threw everything that I had extra in the fridge and pantry, with the goal of making as much burrito filling as possible. I didn't want to have to buy anything to make these. I used what I could find at home. They turned out pretty good, but they are spicy!

Spicy level: 3 / 5

Makes at least 10 burritos

Ingredients

1 onion
1 bell pepper
1 can diced tomato
1 packet of burrito seasoning
or- combine cumin, salt, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper to taste
4  tablespoons cooking oil
1 can black beans
2 cans cooked chicken breast
1 cup chopped cilantro
½ cup mango salsa (or whatever you have)
1 and ½ cups cooked rice
¼ cup feista mix cheese
⅓ cup grated habenero pepper jack cheese
Large flour tortilla (10-12)
Clingwrap
gallon  ziplock bag
Optional: sour cream

Directions.
In a large cast iron skillet, sautee the oil, onion, bell pepper, diced tomato and seasoning together.

Rinse and add black beans. Add salsa, cilantro.

Pour contents into a large mixing bowl (because the skillet may be too full to add other contents) and add chicken, rice, and cheese.

Put about a cup of filling on a large flour tortilla, fold the two “ends” of the burrito towards the center, then wrap the sides snugly. Wrap in clingwrap to hold everything firmly in place, and deposit in a gallon ziplock bag, or the empty tortilla bag. Store burritos in freezer and use as lunches or easy dinner. Serve with sour cream to cool down spicy flavor.
