Make-Ahead Roasted Veggie Burritos
Ingredients
- 6 zucchini small, diced
- 6 yellow squash small, diced
- 3 red peppers diced
- 3 green bell peppers diced
- 1 sweet onion
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 12 whole-wheat tortillas large
- 45 ounces refried black beans cans, organic
- 6 cups sharp cheddar cheese reduced-fat
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- On a parchment-lined baking sheet, place zucchini, yellow squash, red peppers, green peppers, and onion. Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper generously.
- Cook in preheated oven for 12-18 minutes, until crisp-tender.
- Spoon 1/4 can of black beans into the center of a tortilla. Top with 1/2 cup cheese. Scoop 3/4 cup of veggies on top.
- Fold in the edges of the tortilla, then roll the tortilla into a burrito. Wrap several times in plastic wrap. Store in a large freezer bag. Repeat until all 12 burritos are wrapped.
- Label freezer bag with date. Freeze for up to 1 month.
- To reheat, place a burrito in microwave. Cook until heated in the center (about 3-5 minutes). Or reheat several burritos as once by placing them in a baking dish, spraying with olive oil cooking spray, and cook at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes, until golden and crispy.
- Serve with your favorite no-preservative salsa or hot sauce and enjoy!

How watery do the veggies get when you reheat them inside the tortilla shell? I was thinking of just fteezing the veggies separately.
Amy, I would recommend using a paper towel to soak up any excess liquid before reheating.
