Better Than Store Bought Burritos Recipes

VEGETARIAN FREEZER BURRITO

Steps:

• Making the cilantro lime rice: Place rice in a fine mesh sieve and rinse well with cold water and add to a medium pot. Cover with 1 inch of cold water and place over medium heat. Once the rice is simmering, give it a stir, turn heat down to low, and cover. Cook until rice has absorbed the water and is tender, 15-20 minutes. There may be extra water, which you should drain off by leaving a space between the lid and pot, then pouring the remaining water out into the sink. Return to the stove off heat, cover, and let the rice steam for 5 minutes. Stir in cilantro and lime juice. Set aside.
• Freeze the burritos: Transfer burritos to a freezer safe plastic bag or container and store in the freezer for up to 6 months, but ideally use within 3 months.
