Make Ahead Bean Burrito Recipe {Freezer Friendly}

Step 1

Heat a large pot over medium heat and add olive oil and onion.  Cook onion until softened, 3-5 minutes.  Next add all the remaining ingredients and mix until combined.  Cook until heated through, 7-10 minutes.  Remove pot from the heat and let mixture cool completely.

Step 2

Lay out your tortilla and in the middle add 1/2 – 1 cup burrito mixture.  How much you add will depend on how large your tortillas are and how big your want your burritos to be.  I had large tortillas and added about 3/4 cup mixture to them.

Step 3

Form the mixture into a little log in the middle of the tortilla and fold the sides over.  Then roll up your burrito kind of like you are wrapping a present.  You may need to cut off any excess tortilla at the bottom if they are really large.

Step 4

Wrap each burrito in plastic wrap and then store in a freezer friendly container for up to 3 months.

Step 5

Cook burritos from frozen: Bake in a 425 degree oven for about 40 minutes, flipping once, until heated through.  Microwave on high for 5-7 minutes.  Cook in a sauté pan until browned and heated through, 15-20 minutes on each side.

Step 6

Cook burritos from thawed: Bake in a 425 degree oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping once, until heated through.  Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes.  Cook in a saute pan until browned and heated through, about 10 minutes on each side.
