Ingredients

12 burrito-size flour tortillas
3 cup Refried Beans
8 oz jack cheese (shredded) you can use cheddar, too (2 cups)
1 7-ounce can green chiles (chopped)
hot sauce to taste

Instructions

On a flat working surface, lay out a tortilla. Spread ¼ cup beans in a line down the center. Sprinkle on a small handful of cheese. Sprinkle a spoonful of chiles over the cheese as well as a teaspoon of onions. Add hot sauce to taste.
12 burrito-size flour tortillas, 3 cup Refried Beans, 8 oz jack cheese (shredded), 1 7-ounce can green chiles (chopped), hot sauce
Roll up the tortilla over the filling, tucking in the sides as you go.
Continue until all the burritos are filled and rolled.
The filled burritos can be placed in a ziptop freezer bag and frozen. Or you can heat them and serve them right away. We like to heat them on the griddle, turning to crisp all sides. You can also bake them for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.

Notes

Nutritional values are approximate and based on 1 burrito.

Serving Suggestions: Burritos are such a fun, easy meal. Serve them with chips, rice, red chile sauce, sour cream, and other things you like to top tacos.

Shop Your Kitchen: Vary the fillings based on what you have. You can add cooked meat, rice, change the beans and cheese, or add other favorite taco fillings.

To Make a Meal Prep: Cover and chill until ready to serve. Consume within 4 days.

Freeze Extra for Later: Cool, wrap, and chill completely before freezing. Burritos are good for several months in the freezer.

To serve from frozen: Frozen burritos can be reheated in the microwave, oven, or on the griddle.

Make a Plan for Leftovers: Promptly store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or in the oven. If you store your leftovers in clear containers, they’re more likely to get eaten.
