Preparing Freezer Meals, Part 3: The Big Day

Sunday was the big freezer cooking day – here’s what I made and how it turned out!

The first thing on my list was freezer burritos, inspired by this great recipe at Cheri’s Fabulous Foods. First, I cooked up some black beans, pinto beans, and red beans:


Then I put some of my free Mahatma rice in the cooker with chopped tomato, onion, cilantro, carrot, broccoli, and Chipotle seasoning salt for extra flavor:


I cooked some chicken and carne asda meat that were in my freezer stockpile, and set up a burrito assembly line:


I filled each burrito with rice, meat, 3 kinds of beans, and cheese. For a great video on assembling burritos, click here. The tip about heating the tortillas helped so much!


I wrapped the burritos in foil and placed them inside gallon freezer bags.


I had a lot of cooked chicken left over, as I had planned. This is great to have on hand to make quick meals – I packaged it in several bags so that I can thaw out small portions for sandwiches, quesadillas, salads, stir frys, etc. I also had a little carne asda meat left, along with a lot of cooked beans – did you know that you can freeze those too? All of these frozen ingredients will save me time later on.

So here’s what I ended up freezing:


32 burritos, 1 small bag of carne asada meat, 4 bags of cooked chicken, 2 bags of pinto beans, 2 bags of black beans, and two bags of red beans.

I also marinated and cooked two steaks, and chopped some onion to put in the freezer:


And there you have it – my most recent freezer cooking efforts!
