There’s the dream of freezer burritos, and then there is the reality of freezer burritos. So many freezer burritos end up being a disappointment, but with the right combination of fillings and the ideal reheating method, you actually can make pretty darn good freezer burritos that will make for a quick and easy weeknight dinner later on.
Of course, it remains to be seen if little kids (like mine) will actually eat a burrito. If they don’t, then they might have to find a different house to live in. (Kidding, kidding!)
INGREDIENTS TO AVOID: Avocado or non-cheese dairy, like sour cream. These ingredients will not freeze and reheat well. Instead, add those to the top after you reheat your burritos!
WHAT MAKES A GOOD FREEZER BURRITO?
Here’s what it takes to make a really good freezer burrito:
Lots of protein, like chicken and beans
Some starch to soak up any extra liquid, like cilantro rice
Some vegetables, like peppers and onions.
Feel free to add your favorite proteins and vegetables to the mix!
