THAT CHEAPSKATE GIRL'S GUIDE TO FROZEN BURRITOS UNDER $10

So I just moved into my first apartment and my budget is tight so i started making theses and decided they would be perfect for a food blog post!! Now as i am super poor i either got everything from the dollar store or the Save A Lot next to it. So as like most my age i work hard and long hours with no desire to cook when i get home and notice how often i was eating out and just how fast that drained my food money:( These are just awesome to and way cheaper then buying the premade ones that you have no clue what is in! Not that i really care about that all i care about is that sweet money it is saving me!! It is only about 30 min of prep and then you freeze them and eat as you like by just popping them in the microwave for 2.5min or make a whole batch in the oven at 350 for 15 to 20 min and diner lunch and hell even breakfast is served!
So lets get started!!!










Ingredients:                                                                          Price    Store

 Any king of plastic bag, tin foil, plastic wrap depending on your needs                                                                                                                                                       _____
                                                                                                        $9.95
 Num of   18    {  24  
               $.55 {$.41  per Burrito


    So it only cost me $9.95 for all the stuff and i made 18 burritos mostly because i was just scooping in the filling at random rather then laying them all out and making them even so i got a few big ones and never make this when hungry cuz i ate two as i was putting together:) sorry i'm not sorry!                                                            
 This is how i set my workstation so i could make them quickly and with less mess
                                                  


Directions:  
1. Read rice Pk and cook accordingly(mine was 15 min)
2. Cook and ground meat thoroughly then read back of taco seasoning to make taco meat
3. Mix Meat, rice, black beans, and refried beans.

4. Add 2 tsp of mixture onto tortilla, then add a pinch of cheese and fold burrito style


Here is how you fold them!!


5. Wrap or bag in bulk or in individuals with your packaging choice, i personally put each individual bags as i eat them on at a time

6. Freeze or eat, if you freeze them they last for 3 months, i like to put the expiration date on it

7. In the microwave for 2.5min or make a whole batch in the oven at 350 for 15 to 20 min

Enjoy!!!
