Freezer-Friendly Bean & Cheese Burritos

These are handy to have in the freezer for a quick Mexican meal. Eat them on their own in your hand or on a plate with Mexican rice and smothered with enchilada sauce and cheese or just with some salsa or hot sauce. However you like them, they are yummy. 




Ingredients

1 package of large flour tortillas
4 cups of homemade refried beans (recipe on blog) or 2 cans of refried beans
1/2 cup salsa
Approx 2 cups shredded cheese (whichever you like-I use a Tex-Mex type)

How They are Made

Mix refried beans and salsa together (you can add chopped cooked chicken, shedded pork or browned ground beef, if you'd like). Spread bean mixture down the middle of tortilla. (you could warm them a bit before doing this for easier rolling) Sprinkle with cheese and roll up.

To Freeze: Wrap in plastic wrap and stick in a gallon Ziploc freezer bag. When freezer bag is full, seal until airtight and freeze for up to two months.

To Serve: Thaw for a few hours and warm in the microwave or oven.
