I just love finding new recipes that are fast, easy and don't require a lot of ingredients. Don't you? Lately I have been growing my collection of recipes and I wanted to share one with you that I am particularly excited about.
I found the recipe for Meat and Cheese Burritos here. I did some tweaking to the recipe...I added pinto beans and whole kernel corn and I left out the salt. I mixed everything in a large bowl and I ended up with 14 burritos. I froze them just like Laura recommended and I have reheated one using the oven and one using the microwave. If you are in a hurry I recommend the microwave as it took less than 3 minutes to go from frozen to yummy in my tummy (I wrapped mine in saran wrap before microwaving so it wouldn't dry out).
Here are the reasons why I am so excited about this recipe:
1) It only took me 30 minutes to make 14 burritos.
2) The burritos work for dinner or for snack and it doesn't take a lot of work to reheat them.
3) My husband can pack these for lunch on days when I don't have leftovers to send with him.
4) They are very tasty!!
If you are curious about how to fold a burrito properly, just google it and you'll find lots of help!
Thanks for the recipe. It's always nice to find a fast and frugal meal to add to our repertoire.
ReplyDeleteI was super excited about this idea! For some reason, freezing individual burritos never really occurred to me ... but I'm about to do a bunch! I know two people who just had babies the week that I want to get meals to, and J.J. has been sick, and I thought I could stick some in his freezer so he eats something other than fast food. My possibilities here are endless! Meat, meatless, breakfast, fajita style, etc. Thanks, Sarah!
ReplyDeleteAnd although I didn't comment on your last post, know that when you come to mind, I will say a prayer for you. I can SO relate to your post. How many times, esp. when Eli was working crazy bizillion hours I felt so weary ... asking God for a ray of sunshine, an end of a dark time, but not seeing it coming as quick as I wanted! I feel bad that I haven't seen this in you to already have been praying and encouraging you. But I will be now.
