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.
