Never buy frozen burritos again
Seriously, these are super yummy, super easy, and more importantly more cost effective.
I bought a family pack (3 lbs) of ground beef on sale, sauteed up with onion, homemade taco seasoning, and at the end while simmering, I added avocado. That night, we had tacos (I buy the shells when they are on super sale of $1 box, and stock up).
The next day, I took a package of whole wheat tortillas (10 for $1.99), a can of refried beans ($.89) and some shredded cheese and in assembly line fashion made up the burritos (1/3 cup meat, 1/3 cup beans, cheese), rolled them up and wrapped each in foil, then flash froze on baking sheet. Once frozen to form, put them in a zip loc baggie, and we reheat them as needed. They are so much better than the store bought burritos and easy to have on hand. Not to mention, I know exactly what went in to them, with not a chemical, additive or preservative in sight. Next time I will do it with homemade beans.
Same package of meat (and can of beans) also gave us one more nights worth of quesadellias, so three meals from the one pack of beef.
