Cooking ahead for cheaper!


Happy weekend everyone! Today I did something I always want to do but can never seem to find the time, cook ahead of time and freeze things! I made 8 burritos for my parents and froze them so that they wouldn't have to pay a ton of money for Amy’s enchiladas at the health food store. Normally they get them at Walmart (I know, I know Walmart) but they didn't have them! In our local health food store they were about $5.50 verses about $3 in Walmart. Long and short of it, I bought several products and created burritos for them to freeze! The following ingredients were in the burritos:

Trader Joe’s whole wheat tortillas
Eden Organic refried beans
Green chilies 
Onions
Garlic
Pinch of pink Himalayan salt
Daiya Mozzarella (on sale otherwise I would have used cheddar)
Olives
Basically you cook all the ingredients and combine them! Roll them up, roll them into the foil and freeze! See pictures below for step by step instructions and the finished product. Sorry for the out of order pictures but you get the idea!
