MAKE-AHEAD BURRITOS

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.
