Crate of vegetables

Ingredients

A boiling pot

Instructions


  1. Microwave spinach according to directions, taking care to press out excess water.

  2. Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds (this makes them more pliable).

  3. For 7-inch tortillas, use ¼ cup of each: beans, rice, and spinach, plus 2 tbsp of corn and salsa. For 6-inch tortillas, use 2 tbsp of each: beans, rice, and spinach, plus 1 tbsp of corn and salsa.

  4. You can also just premix all the ingredients together, and add 1-cup filling to 7-inch tortillas (½-cup filling for 6-inch tortillas).

  5. Place fillings in the center. Wrap one long side over, then the other side over that, folding the two remaining small ends inward. Wrap your burrito in foil tightly and store all foil burritos in a freezer bag.

  6. Reheating: Bake in the oven at 350F for 20-30 minutes. Your burritos will stay warm for 20 minutes! Alternatively, un-foil and microwave for 30 seconds to 2 minutes using the “defrost” setting, then microwave using the regular setting for 10-30 seconds. You can also unwrap and cook on a non-stick griddle for a crispy chimichanga!
