Beef, Bean and Cheese Burritos
1 lb. ground beef, venison or turkey
sea salt to taste (I used taco seasoning)
1-2 cups beans (I used pinto and black...soaked and cooked ahead of time)
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (I used mild white cheddar)
1 cup salsa (I used a 15 oz. can of diced tomatoes)
15-20 whole wheat or corn tortillas
Brown meat in a large pan. Season to taste. **Remove from heat and stir in salsa and shredded cheese. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons onto a tortilla and wrap.
**I poured the seasoned meat in a bowl. Then mixed in the beans and tomatoes. I put a couple Tbsp. of the filling onto each tortilla and sprinkled the cheese on top. Then rolled, folding in sides.
To cook fresh: Place in a baking dish. Bake immediately or cover and store in the refrigerator until ready to bake. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
To Freeze: Lay burritos barely touching in a 9×13 freezer safe dish (lined w/ wax paper if you want to remove them easily and store them in a freezer bag). If you are freezing more than one layer of burritos, place wax paper or parchment paper between the layers to prevent them from sticking together.
To Re-Heat: Place burritos on a baking sheet. If burritos are thawed, warm in the oven for about 15 minutes until heated through and through. If burritos are frozen, leave them in the oven for about 30 minutes. They might get a little crispy on the outside, but yum!
It will be great to have these in the freezer for post-baby meals.
ReplyDeleteThey will be great for Justin and Rebecca. They both love them! Maybe I'll have to make another batch sometime with corn tortillas or my homemade soaked tortillas.
ReplyDeleteI need to keep stocking foods I can eat. I know people will bring us meals after the baby. But chances are I won't be able to eat much of them :P
