Question – how do you prevent hard tortillas? We did a bunch of breakfast burritos and froze them, and they were pretty good, but the ends / edges of the tortillas ended up very dry and hard after reheating. Did you have this problem? Any idea how to prevent?

Awesome idea! I have a teenage son and I have to make 3 PBJ’s each morning for him to eat with his lunch…otherwise he order THREE lunches! That’s over $8.00/day!! I’m gonna make these burritos tonight! Thank you!!! (can you freeze PBJ’s?)

This is one of my favorite ways to stretch our budget. Our house seems to be the magnet for all 14-17 year old boys. Having a huge stack of individually wrapped burrtios in the freezer has saved me on more than one occasion. I also make *huge* batches of rice which all they have to do is heat up and put soy sauce or cheese on top. I’m telling you~~this is a teenage boy’s dream (or maybe one of them)

I’ve totally done this!! They are SOOO much tastier than the store-bought processed junk. Great minds think alike! I’m glad you found my blog and in turn I have found yours! I look forward to looking around more.

I’ll have to try this. Your blog looks interesting, and I’m going to subscribe. Plus, the title fits me perfectly. I’m 46 and am finally starting to get over kitchen jitters and entertaining/hosting other families over.

I have a question, or two, similar to above question (from Deb Meyers)…

You wrapped them in plastic wrap (according to the pictures) – Do you unwrap them first before throwing them in the mic for one minute? Do you rewrap in wax or parchment paper, at all? How do prevent sogginess?

I think this is a great (frugal) idea – and maybe kids don’t care about sogginess… I have tried to do this before and couldn’t get past the soggy fact. However, what I had tried was to put leftover ‘fried’ chimichangas into the freezer for a later time… yeah… a little too soggy.

BUT, maybe it’s all to do with the way you reheat them?

Super idea! Love having things ready to go in the freezer. I almost always have muffins or sweet bread of some kind and some sandwiches my mother used to make. Ham, cheese, mustard mixed with butter and poppy seeds, enclosed in a hamburger bun. I wrap it in foil and toss it in the oven when we want them. .-= Barbara´s last blog ..Pasties for the Super Bowl =-.

Just wondering if you could share the recipe for this wonderful idea and if you might have a breakfast burritos recipe also. This would be a big help in our household . Thanks

What a great idea. I no longer have the kids at home, but that would be great to make and take to my son who is in college, and to keep some when husband and I are busy, to keep from eating out. We are making a greater effort to eat at home, and out less, even less than we have been. Do you add any seasonings to the filling? Jackie .-= Jackie´s last blog ..Latest Project =-.

What a wonderful idea! Do you freeze them with the sour cream and cheese, or add those after heating them?

Great idea. my hubby will love these

We save money by packing healthy lunches. but not a sandwich every day.. that gets a little borrin. leftovers jazzed up with peppers and cheese, soups, homemade breakfast parfait, etc. Not only does it save me money, but it makes my husband very happy when he knows I took time ot of my day to love him through a meal

to answer your question:

I keep pre-mixed cinnamon/honey/ butter in a container for after-school hot toast.

Not super healthy, even though the toast is whole grain, but I don’t send added sugar foods to school. Something sweet is a real treat for downtime.

Sandy…I JUST did this for school lunches!

my daughter said they were too dry, though I added pineapple/tomato salsa when building the burrito. It’s worse when they are too soggy, but any tips there?

thanks! Deb

Done! Sandy, as soon as I read your post I gathered up my family and we made the burritos. Of course, my teenage sons had plenty to eat in the process.

I had ground beef waiting to be cooked so the timing was perfect. Thanks!

I love this idea Sandy! I have two pounds of ground beef in the fridge just calling my name right now. Think I have tortillas too. Yay!
