Make-Ahead Burritos image

We have two children who keep us busy, so I love meals I can just pull out of the freezer. The burritos are wrapped individually so it's easy to take out only the number you need. I serve them with canned refried beans and Spanish rice from a boxed mix. -Jennifer Shafer, Durham, North Carolina.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my burritos didn't turn out very well.

The burritos were easy to make, but they didn't hold together very well. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These burritos were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more seasoning next time.

I'm not a huge fan of burritos, but these were really good! The filling was flavorful and the tortilla was perfectly cooked. I'll definitely be making these again.

These burritos are delicious and easy to make. I love that I can customize them with my favorite fillings. I've made them with chicken, beef, and even vegetables. They're all equally good.

These burritos were a lifesaver for my busy family! I made a big batch on Sunday and we've been enjoying them all week for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They're so easy to heat up and they're always a hit with my kids.
