  • Author: Leo
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 8 large flour tortillas
– 6 large eggs
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your preference)
– 1 cup cooked hash browns or diced potatoes
– 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
– 1 cup diced bell peppers
– 1 small onion, diced
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Salsa or hot sauce (optional)


Instructions

Creating Make Ahead Freezer Burritos can be fun and simple by following these instructions:

1. Cook Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil. Sauté the diced onion and bell peppers until they are soft about 5-7 minutes.

2. Add Hash Browns: Stir in the cooked hash browns, cooking until they are crispy and warmed through, about another 5 minutes.

3. Whisk Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder until well combined.

4. Scramble Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the vegetables. Cook until the eggs are set and fully cooked, stirring occasionally.

5. Add Beans and Cheese: Gently fold the black beans and shredded cheese into the egg mixture. Stir until the cheese is melted. Remove from heat.

6. Assemble Burritos: Lay out a tortilla on a clean surface. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the egg mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll tightly, ensuring it is well sealed.

7. Wrap for Freezing: Wrap each burrito tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. Label each burrito with the date for your reference.

8. Freeze: Place the wrapped burritos in a freezer-safe bag or container, and store them in the freezer.

9. Reheat: To enjoy, remove the burrito from the freezer and unwrap it. Reheat in the microwave for 2-3 minutes or in the oven at 350°F for about 25 minutes, until heated through.

By following these steps, you’ll create delicious, hearty burritos that are easy to store and reheat anytime.
