VEGETARIAN BURRITOS RECIPE

Steps:

• Cook your quinoa/brown rice according to package instructions either on the stove top or in the microwave. I like just using microwavable packages to save time but you can do either. While to rice is cooking slice onion, peppers (removing ribs and seeds) into strips or a large dice.
• Add sliced onion, peppers, olive oil and taco seasoning to a small skillet and saute on medium heat for 5 minutes or until veggies are soft. Add corn to skillet and cook another 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Wrap tortillas in several damp paper towels and microwave for 30 seconds until warm. While the tortillas are warming open and rinse canned black beans.
• Once all your fillings are prepped it is time to fill the burritos. In the upper-center of a warm tortilla add 1/4 cup each of rice/quinoa, black beans, veggies, and cheese. Then a tbsp of taco sauce. You can add more cheese if you wish, and if you are substituting meat you will not need as much of the other ingredients.
• Once filled, fold sides of tortilla over on top of filling and roll the the tortilla away from you folding over on itself. Use your fingers to keep the sides secure and the filling in. Repeat filling and rolling until all tortillas are filled.
• Warm a skillet or grill pan on the stove top on medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Add burritos seam side down and cook 5 minutes until warm through then flip and repeat. Enjoy warm with optional extras, enjoy! See Recipe Notes for freezer storage options, and alternate cooking methods.

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.
