Simply reheat and enjoy a warm, wholesome meal thatβs easy, meat-free, and deliciously satisfying!
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, black beans, pinto beans, diced tomatoes, corn, red bell pepper, cheddar cheese, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Scoop approximately 1/2 cup of the filling mixture into the center of the tortilla.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling, then roll the tortilla from the bottom upward to form a sealed burrito.
Repeat the process with the remaining filling and tortillas until all burritos are assembled.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the burritos seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
To freeze for OAMC (Once-A-Month Cooking), allow the burritos to cool completely. Wrap each burrito individually in foil or plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe ziplock bag or container.
To reheat frozen burritos, remove the wrapping, wrap in a paper towel, and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, or until warm. Alternatively, bake in a preheated oven at 375Β°F (190Β°C) for 20-25 minutes.
