Vegetarian Freezer Burrito Bowls
- 1 can (15 Oz. Size) Low-fat Refried Beans
- 1 can (15 Oz. Size) Black Beans, Drained And Rinsed
- 1/2 teaspoons Chili Powder
- 1/4 teaspoons Ground Cumin
- 3 cups Prepared Mexican Rice
- 13 cups Chopped Fresh Onion
- 13 cups Fresh Or Frozen Corn Kernels
- 1 can (4 Oz. Size) Diced Green Chiles
- 13 cups Salsa
- 4 ounces, weight Shredded Cheese
- In a medium bowl, combine the cans of beans with chili powder and cumin (no need to heat).
- Lay out six individual entree-sized freezer safe resealable serving bowls.
- Place a piece of waxed paper or freezer paper in each bowl to cover the bottom and sides.
- Layer each bowl with 1/2 cup rice, 1/2 cup beans, 1 tablespoon onion, 1 tablespoon corn, 2 teaspoons green chilies, 1 tablespoon salsa and a sprinkle of cheese.
- Seal the bowls.
- Place bowls in the freezer for 3-4 hours.
- Remove bowls from the freezer and immediately transfer the contents of each bowl (along with waxed paper) to a zip-lock freezer bag (I used a fork to pry up the frozen bowl).
- Return bags to the freezer.
- When ready to serve, remove the contents from the bag and peel away the waxed paper.
- Place in a bowl and microwave for 2 2 1/2 minutes, or until heated through.
- Top with additional toppings if desired.
- Notes: 1.
- You may be tempted to add fresh tomato, lettuce, avocado, olives, sour cream and cilantro to your bowls.
- These ingredients do not freeze well and should be added as toppings to your reheated bowl prior to serving.
