Ever since my first successful experience with Freezer Cooking that I did here, I have been doing a much better job of keeping up with dinner as well as meals throughout the day.
The number one thing that I have really appreciated knowing I already had in the freezer was our burritos!
My days are flying at warp speed just as I thought they would, and I like to offer my family homemade goodness as often as is possible.
I love knowing that no matter how little time we might have at home, my son can grab a burrito from the fridge, unwrap it, and cook in the microwave for a minute and have a homemade meal!
I promised I would share this recipe the other day, so here it is.
Homemade Frozen Burritos

- Hamburger – I used 5 pounds

- Make Burritos

*NOTE: Please remember to remove the foil before placing in the microwave. I cook mine for 1 minute and then turn the burrito and cook for another 25 seconds.
Add a little sour cream and salsa to your plate for a meal everyone will love.
I am definitely going to try these. I love the idea of making homemade convenience foods so my family has no excuse not to eat something healthy!
This is a great idea! What size tortillas do you use?
