From Sequim, Washington, Marian Platt suggests her tasty burritos for a meatless but filling meal in minutes. “They're so easy to make and great for lunch. Or top with salsa, add a side of refried beans and call it dinner!”

Ingredients

1/3 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon canola oil
1/2 cup diced sweet red pepper
1/4 cup diced sweet yellow pepper
1/4 cup diced green pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2/3 cup cooked brown rice
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons cream cheese, cubed
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 flour tortillas (8 inches)
Salsa, optional

Directions

In a nonstick skillet, saute onion in oil for 2 minutes. Add the peppers; saute for 5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Sprinkle with cumin; saute 1 minute longer. Stir in the rice, cheeses, salt and pepper. Spoon off-center onto each tortilla; fold sides and ends over filling and roll up.
Place seam side down in an 11x7-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Cover and bake at 425° for 10-15 minutes or until heated through. Let stand for 5 minutes. Serve with salsa if desired.

I like these so much that I double and freeze them!

It is a quick and easy recipe to make. We doubled it and wrapped the extra two in foil in the fridge and heated them a few days later. We will definitely make this one again.

Can these be frozen? If so, before or after baking?
