For a vegetarian option, consider adding roasted vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or sweet potatoes to the filling. To reheat, remove the burrito from the freezer and microwave for 2-3 minutes, or until heated through. Alternatively, bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes. Customize your burritos with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, or hot sauce, after reheating.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
40 mins
Prepare the Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine the brown rice, water, and taco seasoning. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 35-40 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. The rice will be slightly sticky.
02
Step
5 mins
Combine the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the rinsed black beans, pinto beans, drained corn, salsa, chopped onion, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
03
Step
5 mins
Add Cheese and Rice: Add the cooked and cooled rice, cheddar cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese to the bean mixture. Gently fold together until all ingredients are well combined.
04
Step
20 mins
Assemble the Burritos: Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the bean-rice mixture among the tortillas, placing the filling in the center of each tortilla. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom up, creating a secure burrito.
05
Step
2 hrs
Freeze the Burritos: Lightly spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray. Place the assembled burritos in a single layer on the prepared cookie sheet. Freeze for approximately 2 hours, or until the burritos are fully frozen and firm.
06
Step
10 mins
Wrap and Store: Once frozen, wrap each burrito individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. Place the wrapped burritos in a large zip-top bag, remove excess air, and store in the freezer for up to 2-3 months.
