What You Need:

 

3 boneless chicken breasts

1/2 jar (16 oz size) salsa

1 (14.5 oz) can refried
beans

1 (8 oz) pkg shredded taco
cheese

1 (8 count) pkg burrito size
tortillas

Wax paper

Freezer bags

 

How to Make It:

 

Place the chicken breasts in
a large sauce pan. 

Cover with the salsa.

Add just enough water to
cover the chicken.

Place over medium high heat.

Bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low and
simmer 15 minutes.

Chicken should be white all
the way through when done.

Remove the chicken from the
pot and cool until easily touched.

Shred the chicken.

Return the shredded chicken
to the pot.

Bring back to a boil to
reduce the liquid of the mixture looks to watery.

When mixture becomes as
thick as you like, remove it from the heat.

Lay to tortilla flat.

Place 3 T of refried beans
down the middle of the tortilla.

Place 4 T of the chicken
mixture on top of the beans.

Sprinkle with cheese.

Fold in the sides of the
tortilla and roll until completely closed.

Continue until you used all
the tortillas.

Wrap each burrito in the wax
paper.

Place the burritos in a
freezer bag.

Freeze for up to 3 months.

To cook unwrap the burritos.

Place in the microwave for
about 3 minutes or just until the burrito is beginning to thaw.

Preheat the oven to 350
degrees.

Lightly spray a cookie sheet
with a non stick cooking spray.

Lay the burritos on the
cookie sheet.

Bake 12 minutes or until the
burrito just begins to brown.
