  • 1red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1zucchini, chopped

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat a large pan on medium heat for 1 minute, then add in your olive oil.

  2. 2

    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. 3

    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. 4

    Remove from heat and let the veggies cool for 5 minutes before assembling your burrito.

Assemble the burritos

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    To freeze, wrap each burrito individually in parchment paper or foil, and store in a reusable or ziplock bag for up to 2 months.

  3. 3

    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.

How to reheat

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    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!
