Make-Ahead Burritos

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. + freezing Bake: 50 min. YIELD: 16 burritos.
We have two children who keep us busy, so I love meals I can just pull out of the freezer. The burritos are wrapped individually so it's easy to take out only the number you need. I serve them with canned refried beans and Spanish rice from a boxed mix. —Jennifer Shafer, Durham, North Carolina.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken or beef
  • 1 jar (16 ounces) salsa
