Homemade Beef and Bean Burritos

It’s so nice to have grab and go meals in the freezer in case you need them! These burritos are super easy to whip up if you have the ingredients on hand and you can always customize to your tastes. It only took me about 10 minutes to put together 12 of these for my hubby to take to work.

Grab together your supplies. Brown up beef, shred up cheese, have cooked or refried beans on hand, (I cooked dried beans to make easy refried beans) tortillas, and something to wrap the burritos in.

I warmed my tortillas up a bit to make them easier to roll. I used my Homemade Tortillas but you can use tortillas that you purchased of course. First I put some refried beans on the tortilla.

Then beef.

Then cheese!

Then I rolled them up and put it in unbleached snack bags. (Love those things!)

I rolled up the bags and taped them shut. Then I put all the rolled-up burritos in a freezer bag and stuck them in the freezer. The reason I chose to put them in the brown bags is for the ease of my hubby to be able to heat them up at work. If you don’t plan on heating them up in the bags you could use aluminum foil.

  1. Do the bags have to be unbleached or can regular lunch sack bags? I have a surplus of these bags and would love to use them up!

  2. I love to buy a 20-25 pound bag of pinto beans and can them during the cooler months when it isn’t so hot. And then when I am ready for “refried” beans, I just open a jar, warm them up and then blend them with my mixer and have instant refried beans. We love them in burritos or on the side with some rice. So easy and way cheaper than store bought refried beans.

        1. We think they do (and much fresher of course!). Some tips to help make them tasty is to add some kind of fat (like lard) and your favorite spices (we like garlic and onions).

  3. How long do you heat them up for? My husband only likes hot food for lunch so this would be prefect for him to bring!
