Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4–5 large wraps
  • 1 can of black beans, rinsed (15 oz)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese of choice, like cheddar or mozzarella
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 zucchini, chopped
  • 1/3 cup red onion, diced (about 1/3 of a large onion)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp hot sauce (optional)

Toppings

  • Avocado
  • Salsa
  • Sour cream

Instructions

  1. Heat pan: Heat a large pan on medium heat for 1 minute, then add in your olive oil.
  2. Cook veggies: Add your chopped zucchini, bell pepper and onion into the pan, and cook over a medium low flame for about 7-8 minutes until the veggies begin to soften- stir occasionally.
  3. Add beans and spices: Once the veggies start to become tender, add in your black beans, hot sauce and spices. Toss together to coat evenly, and continue to cook over a medium flame for an additional 5-7 minutes.
  4. Cool veggies: Remove from heat and let the veggies cool for 5 minutes before assembling your burrito.
  5. Assemble burritos: Lay a wrap flat onto your working surface, spread some cheese over the center, and pour about 1/3 cup of the filling into the center. Fold the sides of the burrito over, then begin rolling tightly from the bottom.
  6. Freeze burritos: To freeze, wrap each burrito individually in parchment paper or foil, and store in a reusable or ziplock bag for up to 2 months.
  7. Grill (optional): If desired, you can grill the burritos before freezing them. Wipe down the pan you cooked your veggies in, and grill each side of the burrito on medium heat for about 2 minute- start with the opening side down. Once cool, follow wrapping instructions above.
  8. Reheat instructions: MICROWAVE INSTRUCTIONS: remove burrito from freezer and unwrap. Place on a plate and microwave for 1 minute, flip over and microwave additional minute. You can also choose the “defrost” setting for 2 minutes, or defrost for 1 minute and continue to cook on a heated pan for another 3-4 minutes.
  9. Oven reheating: OVEN INSTRUCTIONS: Bake from frozen on 350 for 20-25 minutes unwrapped, flipping halfway through. To save time in the oven, you can defrost the burrito in the fridge overnight and cut down baking time to 10-15 minutes!

Notes

  • You can grill the burritos before freezing them for added flavor.
  • Defrosting in the fridge overnight reduces baking time significantly.
