Make Ahead Wraps - OAMC

Tish's Note:

I was thinking that if you can make breakfast burritos to freeze than you have to be able to make a healthy wrap for lunch. Here is the result. Feel free to change it up to whatever sounds good to you!

• Total Time: 1 hrs 10 mins
• Prep Time: 25 mins
• Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 16

• 1 cup uncooked brown rice
• 4 cups water
• 1 (4 ounce) package southwest seasoning
• 4 (15 ounce) cans black beans
• 2 (15 ½ ounce) cans pinto beans
• 1 (10 ounce) can whole kernel corn
• 1 (10 ounce) jar salsa
• 16 10-inch flour tortillas
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• salt and pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1 onion , chopped
• 1 cup cheddar cheese , shredded
• 1 cup monterey jack cheese , shredded

Directions:

1. Combine rice, southwest seasoning and water in a saucepan, and bring to a boil.
2. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 35-40 minutes, or until tender.
3. Remove from heat, and cool.
4. Place black beans and pinto beans into a colander or strainer, and rinse.
5. Transfer to a large bowl. Add corn, onion, spices and salsa, and toss to mix.
6. Mix in rice and cheese.
7. Divide the mixture evenly among the tortillas, and roll up.
8. Freeze wraps in single layer on lightly greased cookie sheet.
9. When fully frozen, wrap individually; place wraps in large zip-top freezer bags; freeze.
10. TO SERVE: Unwrap wraps (that even sounds funny to me) from foil or plastic wrap that you used for freezing.
11. Wrap in a paper towel.
12. Cook in microwave until heated through (about 2 minutes).
13. Or thaw wrap (remove plastic wrap if used in freezing), put foil, and bake at 350F for ten minutes.

Fantastic! I loved them and the family loved them. I am not much of a cook so it doesn't appear you can really mess up this recipe as you adjust it to your tastes. I cut the recipe in half just in case we didn't like them. I also "cheated" using Uncle Ben's Santa Fe microwavable rice and taco seasoning in leiu of southwest seasoning (like others, I wasn't sure what this was and didn't have it on hand). Rather than taking 35-40 minutes to cook the rice, I made these in about 5 - 10 minutes using the microwavable rice. This recipe is definately going into the family rotation.

Love this! So healthy too! I have made them several times mixing up the grains and beans each time.

I used whole grain tortillas. I take two out of freezer, top with my homemade enchilada sauce and a bit more cheese, then bake til piping hot! Especially great with a dollop of low fat sour cream. I hade some filling left over so I added some tomato sauce and chicken broth and had an awesome soup!
