Make Ahead Burritos

As some of you know, I have a goal of having fourteen meals in the freezer before the birth of my baby in a few weeks. Two of those meals will be BURRITOS! We love burritos around here and eat them like they are going out of style. Here is what goes into our yummy wraps.

2 cups beans
1 cup chicken or beef
1 cup rice
1 can drained rotel tomatoes

Yesterday I cooked up 2 pounds of dried beans, half pinto, half small red beans. I threw in a few bay leaves while they cooked. Yesterday I also cooked up 6 chicken leg quarters in the crockpot with bay leaves, cumin, garlic, and oregano. I took the meat off of all the bones, and added a bit more seasoning. We had burritos last night, and today, I am mixing up the rest of the beans and chicken to freeze in big ziploc bags. I am not freezing the rotel with the rest, I'll just make sure I have a few extra cans in the pantry, along with a few extra bags of tortillas.

So with very little time involved I got three meals made, two of them for the freezer.
