I've been meaning to share this recipe with you guys; it's great! We had them for dinner tonight, then I froze the remaining burritos for lunches.

Bean Burritos

1 1/2 C. rice (brown or white)

2 T. olive oil

2 med. onions, chopped

4 garlic cloves, chopped

1 jalenpeno chile, chopped (remove ribs and seeds for less heat) (I freeze these so they last longer and are easier to handle)

1/2 t. ground cumin

coarse ground salt and pepper

3 T. tomato paste

3 cans (15 oz each) pinto beans, drained and rinsed

10 oz. frozen or canned corn; drained and rinsed if canned

6 scallions, thinly sliced

8 burrito-sized (10-inch) flour tortillas

2 C. shredded Montery Jack cheese (8 oz)

salsa and sour cream, if desired.

Cook rice according to package directions, set aside

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, jalepeno, and cumin, season with salt and pepper

Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, 10-12 min. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 1 min.

Add beans and 1 1/2 C. water, bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and simmer, stirring occasionally until thickened, 10-12 min. Add corn, cook to heat through, 2-3 minutes.

Remove from heat; stir in scallions.

Heat tortillas according to package directions; fill with rice, bean mixture, and cheese. Serve immediately with salsa and sour cream, if desired.

If freezing, freeze on a baking sheet individually, then freeze-wrap.

How to assemble:

Mound 1/4 C. rice, 3/4 C. bean mixture, and 1/4 C. cheese on one side of tortilla. Fold, and hold in sides.

Starting from filled end, holding sides in as you work, tightly roll into a bundle.

Reheating from frozen:

Microwave and oven: Remove frozen burritos from wrap. Place on a microwave-safe plate, microwave for 2 minutes or until defrosted. Transfer to baking sheets, bake at 450 until crispy, about 10 minutes. This is considered the best way.

Microwave only: Remove from plastic wrap. Place on microwave-safe plate, cover, and defrost on high power for 3-4 minutes; uncover, microwave on high 3-4 minutes longer.

Oven only: Remove frozen burritos from wrap, rewrap individually in aluminum foil. Place on a baking sheet, bake at 450 for 40 minutes, remove foil and bake to crisp, 5-10 minutes. To reheat defrosted burritos, remove any wrapping and bake for 10 minutes.
