FREEZER BURRITOS
I love burritos, but the frozen types are so high in sodium, I created these. They're a perfect option to have on hand for quick dinners or late-night snacks-I've even had them for breakfast sometimes! -Laura Winemiller, Delta, Pennsylvania

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.
