Prepping Burrito's for Lunch - by Sunscape

It was time to stock up on burritos for my husband's lunches. I prefer to do large batches at one time and freeze them for easy access when he wants to have one.

Today, I will share this simple process with you. It is my own version, so you can use your own ingredients if you desire.

Burrito Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef or ground pork sausage
1/2 envelope of taco seasoning
2 cans (16 ounces) of refried beans
1 cup shredded cheese
1 pint of sour cream
1 can of sweet corn
1 can of carrots
1 can of green beans
2 small cans of diced tomatoes with chilis
2 packages of large-soft burrito's

  • Note - You can use 2 cans of mixed vegetables instead of individual varieties. Also, I did not use meat in this recipe as I forgot to thaw some out, ;-)

In a large cast-iron, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in taco seasoning.

Drain all the canned vegetables well, squeeze out any extra juice from the tomatoes, and mix all the veggies and meat.

You are ready to assemble.

Spread some refried beans onto the center of the burrito, top with the veggie mix, and then some sour cream.

Fold one end over the other and press down lightly with the palm of your hand to flatten.

Fold the end of each side and place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Put the tray into the freezer for 24 hours, then you can wrap them into bags for storage. To thaw, place the burrito in the refrigerator the night before you want to eat one.

Put a little oil in a frying pan and cook on med-low heat until the burrito is browned on each side. Watch carefully so as not to cook them too fast as they will burn easily.

Drizzle your favorite hot sauce or salsa on top and enjoy. They really are delicious and very filling.

It is so nice to have these burritos on hand in the freezer whenever we feel like having them for lunch. Perhaps you will make a large batch to have some for yourself. Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

Thank you so much, I appreciate your support! ♥

Happy Weekend! Typically,how long does it take for you to batch these burritos? I enjoy eating them but love to make them fresh and it always takes a lot of my time just to make one 😆 Thank you for the recipe too, mine isn't as complex as this as I normally just add eggs, meat and veggies to it without the sauces/sour creams😊

It may take me about an hour to put the burritos all together. I just freeze and thaw them when I want to use them. It just makes sense to me to do large batches for my husbands lunches as he really enjoys them.

Ohh great to know it won't take that long. I'd be trying this recipe cause I love wraps and Burrito's included 😊

My sister would love this recipe. She loves burritos.

Hi Pam, these burritos are so easy to make ahead and freeze for whenever you want to have one. We enjoy them often. It has become a monthly routine at our house to make up a large batch. I am so glad you got to enjoy your sisters and brothers. I know going forward it will be sad when your mom passes. I know it was for myself. My thoughts are with you. ♥

Looks super juicyyy! ✨ Almost wanna take a bite off that burrito 🌯 Too bad it’s virtual and I’m not right there to try it. 😛
