Grilled Burritos Recipe

	Magnoliasouth / All my dishes 2 years, 1 month ago This is my recipe for making burritos to freeze. It sounds complicated, but it really isn't all that bad. Though this is designed for one meal, I usually triple it to make enough for 3 meals. Prep:20m Cook:20m Servings:4	Magnoliasou

Ingredients

1 lb. chicken or beef (about 2-3 c. cooked)

½ c. taco sauce

1 c. salsa, 1st use

1 c. rice, cooked

1 c. beans, cooked and drained (you can use refried, black or kidney beans)

1 c. cheese, shredded (about ¼ lb.)

8 large flour tortillas (thicker are best for freezing)

2 tbs. oil

1 c. sour cream

1 c. salsa, 2nd use

Directions

Brown beef or chicken (I also use freshly chopped onions and garlic when browning, but that is optional), drain.

Add taco sauce, and 1st use salsa (if salsa is watery, you may wish to drain it a bit before adding, or boil out the water first), to meat mixture; heat through.

To assemble, scoop about 3 tbs. of meat mixture, and 2 tbs. each of rice, beans and cheese onto each tortilla.

I use a burrito folding guide found here: http://billgrady.com/wp/2002/11/14/how-to-wrap-a-burrito/ but I modify it by folding both ends. If you're not freezing, skip the next step.

If you're freezing the burritos, mix together 2 tbs. cornstarch with 2 tsp. cold water. Using your finger, spread a thin layer along the final flap of the burrito. Allow to cool then wrap with wax paper, flash freeze, and store in a freezer bag. To use thaw, slightly reheat (I remove the wrapping, wrap each with cheese cloth and a damp paper towel, then reheat in the microwave - the cheesecloth helps the paper towel not to stick and the damp paper towel helps keep the tortillas from drying out) and continue these instructions.

Heat oil in heavy skillet. Place the burritos in the pan and cook until golden brown on all sides.

Top each with about 2 tbs. each of 2nd use salsa and sour cream.

Optionally you can add both a health boost and stretch your food dollar, by also adding grilled vegetables or even substituting grilled vegetables for the beef or chicken.

NOTE: My cook time is not really that accurate, since I make 24 at a time.
