What’s this?
It’s a breakfast burrito made with the recipe at The Simple Dollar. Mine have scrambled eggs, some hot sauce, black beans, green and red peppers, spices, salsa, and salt and pepper. I soaked and cooked my own dried bulk black beans to save a bit of money, and I omitted the optional cheese. Like Trent of The Simple Dollar, I use whole wheat tortillas as well. There are now about 30 in freezer bags in my freezer.
For greener options, I would suggest using plastic bags that can be reused, such as Ziplocs you wash out. They don’t get that dirty if the burritos are wrapped well. Or, if you have the required freezer space, you could freeze them on a cookie sheet and put them directly in a freezer bag or reusable container instead of wrapping them in plastic wrap first. Also, while I haven’t yet tried it, I wonder if cheesecloth that can be washed would work in place of paper towels. Other suggestions for reusable paper towel substitutes in the comments are more than welcome.
So if you were wondering if these are good, they are. They’re tasty and have plenty of protein. At our house, they’re not usually a breakfast food – they’re an “I’m too tired/lazy to cook” anytime food.
What bulk foods do you freeze?
