Burritos

This is a great freezer meal idea. I have been into freezer meals. Whatever you are making, double it and freeze some for those nights when you are not feeling it or it has been one of those crazy days and dinner is that LAST things you want to make.

2 lb ground beef
2 cans refried beans
1 1/3 cups enchilada sauce
½ cups water
1/3 cups minced onion
1 T chili powder
1 T garlic powder
1 t salt
1 t dried oregano
3 cups shredded cheese
20 flour tortillas (burrito-size)

Brown ground beef; drain. Add remaining ingredients (except tortillas). Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Heat 3-4 tortillas at a time. Spoon 1/4 c. beef mixture down the side of each tortilla. Roll up. Wrap each burrito in a paper towel, then wrap in foil. Refrigerate or freeze. I like to pack them in the tortilla ziplock bag. When ready to eat, remove foil and microwave for about a minute. The paper towel keeps the burritos moist. If you don’t use a microwave, skip the paper towel and just wrap in foil. Then heat burritos in the oven with foil.
