Freezer Bean & Cheese Burritos

Lunch

This copycat version of store-bought frozen burritos is perfect for meal prepping. Make a big batch to store in the freezer for healthy packable lunches or a quick campsite meal.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups chopped grape tomatoes
4 medium scallions, chopped
¼ cup chopped pickled jalapeño peppers
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 (15 ounce) cans low-sodium pinto beans, rinsed
4 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
8 8-inch whole-wheat tortillas, at room temperature

Description

Combine tomatoes, scallions, jalapeños and cilantro in a medium bowl.
Mash beans with chili powder and cumin in a large bowl with a fork or potato masher until almost smooth. Add cheese and the tomato mixture and stir until combined. Spread about 1/2 cup of the filling mixture on the bottom third of each tortilla. Roll snugly, tucking in the ends as you go. Wrap each burrito in heavy-duty foil. Freeze for up to 3 months.
To heat in the microwave: Unwrap a burrito and place on a microwave-safe plate. Cover with a paper towel and microwave on High until steaming hot throughout, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes.
To heat over a campfire: Place foil-wrapped burrito on a cooking grate over a medium to medium-hot fire. Cook, turning once or twice, until steaming hot throughout, 5 to 10 minutes if partially thawed, up to 15 minutes if frozen.
