MAKE-AHEAD BURRITOS
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.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients
- Spoon by 1/3 cupfuls into center of tortillas & fold into burrito
- Wrap individually with wax, parchment paper or foil. Place in freezer bag and freeze. From frozen these can be reheated in the microwave. Unwrap & heat in microwave for 1 1/2-2 minutes. (If you warm these up in the paper the tortilla tends to stick to it & don't ever put foil in the microwave!!) If they are defrosted they can be reheated in toaster oven for a crispier outside.
