Sick of boring lunches at work, I decided to spice things up and make some frozen burritos to eat throughout the week. I already wish I made more...
What you'll need:
Burrito sized tortillas (6-8)
2 chicken breasts, skin removed
1 cup brown rice
1 can tomatoes and jalapeno peppers
shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese
1 can non-fat refried beans
- Place chicken breasts in boiling water until cooked (~45 minutes).
- Meanwhile, make brown rice according to package. Add a little extra water and drained can of tomatoes and jalapeno peppers. If desired, add spicy spices like chili powder, cayenne pepper, etc.
- When rice and chicken is done, it's time to build the burrito.
Step 1: Lay out tortilla flat.
Step 2: Spread some beans on the tortilla.
Step 3: Spoon some spiced rice on top of the beans.
Step 4: Pick chucks of chicken off the breast and put on top of rice.
Step 5: Sprinkle cheese on top of chicken.
Step 6: Roll burrito, stick in freezer safe bag, put in freezer.
To thaw, simply put it in a microwave and cook it for 90-120 seconds per side. Chances are you'll burn your tongue at least once.
