Tips:
- Choose the right tortillas: For the best burritos, use high-quality tortillas that are soft and pliable. Corn or flour tortillas can be used, depending on your preference.
- Cook the beef well: The beef is the main ingredient in these burritos, so make sure it is cooked thoroughly before assembling them. Brown the beef over medium-high heat until it is no longer pink in the center.
- Use a variety of beans: Black beans, pinto beans, and kidney beans are all good choices for these burritos. You can also use a combination of different beans.
- Don't overstuff the burritos: When assembling the burritos, be careful not to overstuff them. This will make them difficult to roll and eat.
- Use a good salsa: The salsa is an important part of these burritos, so choose one that you enjoy. You can use a store-bought salsa or make your own.
- Wrap the burritos tightly: Once the burritos are assembled, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This will help them stay fresh and prevent them from drying out.
- Store the burritos properly: The burritos can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Conclusion:
Make-ahead beef and bean burritos are a delicious and convenient meal option. They are perfect for busy weeknights or for packing in lunches. With a little planning, you can have a freezer full of burritos that are ready to be enjoyed at a moment's notice.
