How to Make Freezer Burritos
How to Make Freezer Beef Burritos. An easy recipe that the whole family will love!
Ingredients (for a single recipe, I like to double it and freeze half)
1-1/4 pounds lean ground beef (90% lean)
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1-1/4 cups salsa
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium taco seasoning (or make your own, even healthier. Watch the video for a breakdown of spices)
2 cans (15 ounces each) Black beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
12 flour tortillas (8 inches), warmed
2 cups of cooked whole wheat rice
Directions
Cook the rice in a slow cooker or on the stove top according to the package directions. In a large skillet, cook the beef and onion over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink; drain it once cooked through. Stir in the salsa, beans (rinsed and drained), rice and taco seasoning. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5-10 minutes.
Spoon 1/2 - 1 cup of the beef mixture down the center of each warmed tortilla. Add the cheese. Fold ends and sides over filling; roll up. Wrap each burrito in waxed paper and foil. Freeze for 1-3 months. To use frozen burritos: Remove foil and waxed paper. If in a hurry you can place one burrito on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high for 2-1/2 to 3 minutes, turning burrito over once. Let stand for 20 seconds. I prefer to cook in oven at 350 for 30 minutes after the burritos have been defrosted (thaw over night our during the day). Yields 12 servings.
Note: If you'd like to add the rice and beans later on, you can layer the beef mixture, with the beans, and then the rice and cheese. I find it easier to put it all together but both work great!

How to choose tortillas:
Try to buy a thicker, flexible flour tortilla. This is important because other tortillas can tear when you wrap your burrito. A good way to test this is to pick up the package of tortillas with one hand and move your wrist up and down. You can then easily compare the flexibility of the different brands that are available. As you hold the packages you can also tell by the thickness of the package how thick the tortillas are. Give this a try. It's definitely worth it.
I suggest you serve these burritos with refried beans and spanish rice, just like in restaurants. Be sure and read the ingredients in the beans. Many of the cheaper brands list lard as a main ingredient.
Staples are things I think most people in my neck of the woods have in their kitchen most of the time. I don't use the cost of those items in the calculations of the cost of the recipe unless it calls for a significant amount. I did not count the 3 slices of American cheese in this recipe. A full list of these staple items is available on my channel.
