Time 1h10m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup uncooked brown rice
4 cups water
1 (4 ounce) package southwest seasoning
4 (15 ounce) cans black beans
2 (15 1/2 ounce) cans pinto beans
1 (10 ounce) can whole kernel corn
1 (10 ounce) jar salsa
16 10-inch flour tortillas
1 teaspoon cumin
salt and pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon oregano
1 onion, chopped
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Combine rice, southwest seasoning and water in a saucepan, and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 35-40 minutes, or until tender.
  • Remove from heat, and cool.
  • Place black beans and pinto beans into a colander or strainer, and rinse.
  • Transfer to a large bowl. Add corn, onion, spices and salsa, and toss to mix.
  • Mix in rice and cheese.
  • Divide the mixture evenly among the tortillas, and roll up.
  • Freeze wraps in single layer on lightly greased cookie sheet.
  • When fully frozen, wrap individually; place wraps in large zip-top freezer bags; freeze.
  • TO SERVE: Unwrap wraps (that even sounds funny to me) from foil or plastic wrap that you used for freezing.
  • Wrap in a paper towel.
  • Cook in microwave until heated through (about 2 minutes).
  • Or thaw wrap (remove plastic wrap if used in freezing), put foil, and bake at 350F for ten minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tortillas: Use high-quality tortillas that are soft and pliable. Corn or whole wheat tortillas are good options.
  • Spread evenly: When spreading fillings on the tortillas, do so evenly so that each bite has a good balance of flavors and textures.
  • Roll tightly: Roll the wraps tightly so that they hold together well and are easy to eat.
  • Wrap in plastic or parchment paper: Wrap the wraps individually in plastic wrap or parchment paper to prevent them from drying out.
  • Chill for at least 30 minutes: Chilling the wraps for at least 30 minutes before slicing helps them to set and makes them easier to slice.
  • Slice with a sharp knife: Use a sharp knife to slice the wraps so that they have clean edges.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce: Serve the wraps with your favorite dipping sauce, such as salsa, guacamole, or hummus.

Conclusion:

Make-ahead lunch wraps are a convenient and delicious way to meal prep for busy weeks. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a variety of wraps ready to grab and go in the morning.
