These are great for snacks for the kids, quick lunches, and easy dinners.

These are not only good to keep on hand for your own family but if you know someone that needs to have some ready-made meals this would be a wonderful addition to their freezer.
How to Make: Make-Ahead Freezer Burritos
Start with room temperature tortillas so if you have them in the refrigerator or freezer, take them out before starting this recipe.
They’ll be the perfect temperature and consistency when you’re ready to start the assembly process.

Allow the meat mixture and the rice to cool slightly before assembling the burritos or else the tortilla will be soggy.

Wrap the tortillas individually.

Place in a freezer ziplock back with the directions clearly visible.
If I didn’t do this my family would ask me every single time how to reheat so it’s a time saver and it minimizes the threat of my eyes rolling out of my head.

Frozen burritos will stay fresh and delicious for up to 3 months in the freezer so also be sure to write the date on the bag.
