Homemade Bean Burritos

These are one of our favorite things!  So easy to make, healthy, and WAY cheaper than store bought!  I made 20 bean burritos for $6.00.  

You need:

•  a pound of dry black beans
• 1/2 pound of pinto beans
• 1 small onion chopped
• 1 - 2 chopped jalapeno peppers
• chopped cilantro
• butter
• sea salt
• garlic
• shredded cheese
• 20 tortilla shells
• zip lock freezer

 Boil everything except for the cheese and tortilla shells in stock pot. 

Drain water off beans once they are tender.  You don't want runny, soggy burritos.

Layer tortilla shells, beans and cheese.  Fold tortilla shells around bean mixture and cheese.  

Fold ends in first and then wrap sides securily so that beans don't come out. 

Put each burrito in it's own small freezer bag. 

A few newly made burritos in my freezer.  All I'll have to do it take them out and heat them up! 

 Lay all burritos side by side so they can freeze thoroughly.  

Don't stack until after they are all frozen.

Don't laugh at my fancy labels! 

"B" is for Bean and "C" is for Chicken.

Hopefully you can get through the whole burrito making process without your children starving to death.  Mine nearly didn't make it.  This is my famished daughter insisting that she's "SOOOO" hungry!  lol

She wanted to eat a burrito right then. Where do these kids come up with such things???
