Dear Reader-

Freezer burritos are a staple in our freezer… along with our Seasoned Ground Beef, burritos are one freezer cooking item I try to always have.

They make for a quick lunch or even dinner if need be and EVERYONE in this house loves them.

Recently we ran out and I resorted to purchasing some from the store… but it just wasn’t the same.

We MUCH prefer the homemade version.

So, this time around, I made a batch of 40.

I also tweaked the recipe a bit.

We have made Brown Bag Burritos oodles of times from a recipe we tweaked from Amy’s Finer Things, however, this time I wanted to use less red sauce and add some green sauce along with switching up the spices a bit.

We LOVED the result and this will be our new staple.

Puddie says they taste like Taco Bell’s Chili Cheese Burritos…

I say they just taste GOODe!

Addie says, “More, PLEASE!”

The recipe starts with 3 lbs of Seasoned Ground Beef… Browned ground beef, onion and garlic.

I then cubed up a brick of 2 % Velveeta (32 oz)

Add the cheese to the beef over medium heat.

Add a 15 oz can of Red Sauce and a 10 oz can of Green Sauce. (Pardon my dusty can ;))

I then added 5 (15 oz) cans of refried beans.

1 Tablespoon of Chili Powder

1 Tablespoon Cumin

1 Tablespoon Onion Powder

1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder

1 Tablespoon Kosher Salt

1 Tablespoon Oregano

Mix it all up and heat through. Meanwhile grab 40 12 inch flour tortillas.

And give them a quick warm up on a griddle… just until they bubble a little, then just stack on each other to keep warm.

Now scoop enough beans to fill (but not overflow) your burrito…

It is a science really…

Fold over the beans and then fold in sides.

And fold over…

Repeat oh… say… 39 times…

Now grab some paper towels.

The paper towels help control mositure and keep you from having a soggy burrito.

I have used various brands over the past two years and generic ones don’t work as well (they stick). My favorite to use is Bounty Basics.

Just wrap them up…

And fold them up

And then repeat, wrapping them in foil

To reheat frozen burrito, remove foil and heat in papertowel in microwave for 90 seconds, flip and cook for 90 more seconds.

Immediately remove the paper towel and serve.
