Hearty Burritos




What to have for dinner? I had 1/2 lb ground turkey in the fridge from the night before. What can I turn it into? Hearty Burritos!! I found this recipe in the Taste of Home Freezer Meals little booklet. It all came together perfectly too.

Hearty Burritos

1/2 lb. gound beef or turkey
1 large green pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 package (16 oz) frozen cubed has brown potatoes, thawed
1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (14-1/2 oz) Mexican diced tomatoes, undrained
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
1/2 cup salsa
1/2 cup cooked rice
2 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups (8 oz) shredded cheddar cheese
8 flour tortillas (10 in.), warmed

Sour Cream, chopped tomatoes, guacamole, additional shredded cheese and salsa; optional.

In a large skillet, cook the beef, green pepper and onion over medium heat until potatoes, beans, tomatoes, corn, salso, rice, chili powder and salt. Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese off-center on each tortilla; top with about 1 cup beef mixture. Fold sides and ends over filling.

Wrap burritos individually in foil and freeze for up to 3 months. Or place burritos seam side down on a baking sheet.

Bake at 350 for 25 minutes or until heated through. Serve with sour cream, tomatoes, guacamole, additional cheese and salsa if desired.

To Use Frozen Burritos: Thaw in the fridgerator overnight. Bake and serve as directed.

when freezing, wrap in foil, throw into a freezer baggie and write on the baggie the date and cooking instructions.
