Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked brown rice
  • 4 cups water
  • 4 (1 ounce) envelopes taco seasoning mix
  • 4 (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (10 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 (10 ounce) container salsa
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 16 (10 inch) flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese
  • cooking spray

Directions

Step 1
Combine rice, water, and taco seasoning in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool; it will be soggy.

Step 2
Combine black beans, pinto beans, corn, salsa, onion, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper in a large bowl; toss to mix. Mix in cooked rice, Cheddar, and Monterey Jack.

Step 3
Divide the bean-rice mixture evenly among the tortillas and roll up.

Step 4
Spray a cookie sheet lightly with cooking spray. Lay tortillas in a single layer on the cookie sheet and place in the freezer until fully frozen, about 2 hours. Wrap each tortilla in plastic wrap or foil and place in a large zip-top bag to store in the freezer until ready to use.

Cook’s Note:

To serve, unwrap a burrito and place on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Or, place a foil-wrapped burrito on a baking sheet and bake in a 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for 10 minutes.
