Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 16

8 Burrito Size Flour Tortillas
2 Tsp Olive Oil
1 1/2 Tbsp Easy Homemade Taco Seasoning (or Store Bought Packet )
1/2 Small White Onion
1 Small Red Bell Pepper
1 Small Orange Bell Pepper
1 Cup Corn (Frozen or Canned)
2 Cups Brown Rice and/or Quinoa (Cooked)
2 Cans Black Beans (Rinsed and Strained)
2-3 Cups Shredded Mexican Cheese
8 Tbsp Taco Sauce
Salsa
Sour Cream (or Plain Greek Yogurt)
Guacamole
Cilantro
Lime Juice

Steps:

  • Cook your quinoa/brown rice according to package instructions either on the stove top or in the microwave. I like just using microwavable packages to save time but you can do either. While to rice is cooking slice onion, peppers (removing ribs and seeds) into strips or a large dice.
  • Add sliced onion, peppers, olive oil and taco seasoning to a small skillet and saute on medium heat for 5 minutes or until veggies are soft. Add corn to skillet and cook another 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Wrap tortillas in several damp paper towels and microwave for 30 seconds until warm. While the tortillas are warming open and rinse canned black beans.
  • Once all your fillings are prepped it is time to fill the burritos. In the upper-center of a warm tortilla add 1/4 cup each of rice/quinoa, black beans, veggies, and cheese. Then a tbsp of taco sauce. You can add more cheese if you wish, and if you are substituting meat you will not need as much of the other ingredients.
  • Once filled, fold sides of tortilla over on top of filling and roll the the tortilla away from you folding over on itself. Use your fingers to keep the sides secure and the filling in. Repeat filling and rolling until all tortillas are filled.
  • Warm a skillet or grill pan on the stove top on medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Add burritos seam side down and cook 5 minutes until warm through then flip and repeat. Enjoy warm with optional extras, enjoy! See Recipe Notes for freezer storage options, and alternate cooking methods.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, take the time to prepare all of your ingredients. This will make the assembly process much quicker and easier.
  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your burritos will taste. Use fresh, ripe vegetables, flavorful spices, and high-quality cheese.
  • Don't Overfill the Burritos: It's tempting to pack as much filling into the burritos as possible, but this will make them difficult to roll and eat. Aim for a filling that is about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Use Good-Quality Tortillas: The tortillas are the foundation of your burritos, so it's important to use good-quality ones. Look for tortillas that are soft and pliable, and that have a fresh, corn flavor.
  • Press the Burritos: After you've rolled the burritos, press them down gently with a flat object, such as a plate or a cutting board. This will help to seal the burritos and prevent them from falling apart.
  • Freeze the Burritos Properly: To freeze the burritos, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour. Then, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Freezer vegetarian black bean burritos are a delicious and convenient meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're also a great option for meal prep, as they can be made ahead of time and reheated when you're ready to eat. With a little planning, you can have a freezer full of delicious and nutritious burritos that you can enjoy all week long.
