These couldn't have been easier to prepare. I made some rice and stirred a can of Rotel tomatoes and chilies into it, poached and shredded some chicken, and cracked open a can of refried beans. On each tortilla went some beans, rice, chicken, and cheese, which I then folded up, wrapped in plastic wrap, and stuck in a freezer bag. Much like the breakfast burritos, a quick cook in the microwave and these are ready to be eaten! Serve with your favorites--salsa, sour cream, and/or guacamole!
Perfect for work/school lunches, grab 'n go meals, or husbands with traveling wives!
One Year Ago: Artichoke, Kale, and Ricotta Pie
Two Years Ago: Strawberry French Toast
Chicken, Rice, and Bean Freezer Burritos
Ingredients:
-1 package (mine was a 10 count) flour tortillas
-2-3 cups prepared rice, with 1 can diced tomatoes with chilies mixed in
-cooked and shredded chicken
-1 can refried beans
-shredded Mexican cheese
Directions:
1. Place a tortilla on a cutting board. Spread a layer of refried beans across the middle of the tortilla. Top with the rice mixture and chicken. Sprinkle with desired amount of cheese.
2. Fold tortilla up like a burrito (instructions found online here, but you'll need to tuck both ends in). Wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Place wrapped burritos in a freezer bag and store in the freezer. To serve, unwrap from plastic wrap, and place in a damp paper towel. Microwave for 1-2 minutes (depending on strength of microwave) to reheat.
