Freezer Burritos

I was reminded by my sister-in-law that we needed to start making these burritos again to make life a bit easier.  In the past we'd layer the ingredients.  I saw a video on youtube where a mom mixed all the ingredients together, then filled the burritos.  That's what we did with these.  We made 24 freezer burritos (large and stuffed) for only $15.29 which comes out to about $.64 each.  If you do not use meat and make your own beans, it would be even cheaper.  Also, if you use cheaper rice you'll save money. We're very particular to using basmati or jasmine rice.  These are so packed that they will feed one adult or two younger children per burrito.  Add a nice salad and you've got a pretty healthy meal! Ingredient Cost: 1 can tomatoes and chilies $.69 1/2 large package frozen chicken breasts $4 2 cans black beans $1.38 1 1/2 cups uncooked basmati rice $.75 chicken bullion and spices were all under $1.00 4 cups shredded cheddar cheese $4.00 1 cup salsa
