A delicious and easy meal prep, you can assemble these burritos and leave in your fridge to air fry, microwave, pan fry or bake to serve in a few minutes! They are good in the fridge for up to 4 days, or can be frozen for up to 3 months and thawed on the counter or overnight in the fridge.

Ingredients

  • ½ medium, Yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 tbsp, Olive Oil Extra Virgin
  • 1 tbsp Lime Juice
  • 12 tbsp Greek Yogurt, Nonfat Plain
  • 6 large tortillas (I use Ole extreme wellness large tortillas at 80kcal each)
  • 1 Can Fat Free Refried Beans
  • 1.75 cups Vegetable Broth
  • 1/2 cup, Frozen
  • ¾ cup, Rice dry
  • 4 clove Garlic Cloves
  • 6 oz, Sharp Cheddar Cheese Block, shredded (1.5 cups)
  • 1 pepper, Jalapeno Pepper, chopped and deseeded and de-ribbed. Note: you can substitute jarred jalapenos here if desired, and skip the cooking step, just chop them and toss into the filling when it is fully cooked
  • 1 can black beans
  • 2 cups Morningstar Chorizo Crumbles, cooked as per the instructions
  • Cooking spray
  1. In a large pot, heat up the olive oil over medium high heat. Saute the onion and the jalapenos in the oil for 8 minutes. Add your garlic and saute for another minute.
  2. Add your rice, 1 teaspoon of salt and your vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook covered for 18 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
  3. Drain and rinse your black beans, then add that to your rice. Add the lime juice and the corn. Prepare the chorizo as per package instructions.
  4. Assemble your burritos: Spread a layer of refried beans, followed by a layer of greek yogurt. Add one sixth of the filling to your burrito (this should come out to just about ¾ cup of filling per burrito), 1/3 cup of chorizo, then top with 1 oz of shredded cheddar cheese (1/4 cup). Roll up your burrito and lay it seam side down. Repeat for all 6 burritos. Note: I am very bad at rolling burritos, probably because I way over fill them, and this recipe is no exception. I watch youtube videos of how to roll them before I attempt it. These burritos are very large, I usually eat them with a knife and a fork personally. If you want them to be handheld, you may have to reserve some of the filling as a side.

AIR FRYER COOKING (great for single burritos): Spray the burritos all over with cooking spray, then place seam side down and cook at 340 degrees for 5-8 minutes of fresh, if refrigerated do 15 minutes.

OVEN COOKING( Great for large batch burritos): Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spray the burritos all over with cooking spray, then place seam side down and bake for 25-30 minutes.
