Freezer Friendly Steak Burritos

Recently I talked about how I made freezer chicken burritos because I Chipotle was taking all my money when I came back from my trip to an empty fridge. Well, I’m back with another freezer burrito – steak version! These freezer friendly burritos are my “base” recipe. Most of the ingredients are pantry staples and freeze well so I don’t have to worry about running up the bill when making a large batch of these. I love making a batch for the week and then a 2nd and 3rd batch of these chicken burritos for the freezer since they don’t take a lot of effort to put together.

To make this steak burrito a little closer to the Chipotle version, I marinaded my steak in Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce for an hour. You can marinade this up to 24 hours in the fridge for maximum flavour if you aren’t in a rush.

HOW TO MAKE THESE FREEZER FRIENDLY STEAK BURRITOS

In a large tortilla, place your rice in the middle first before the rest of your toppings.
Next, fold the bottom of your tortilla up so it covers the ingredients but not to the top of the tortilla.
Fold in the sides before rolling the burrito in.
If freezing, wrap them individually in saran wrap or parchment paper so they do not stick together before storing it in the freezer.

Note: here is a series of gifs from HuffPost on how to roll a burrito if my instructions are unclear!

HOW TO REHEAT FROZEN BURRITOS

From frozen: reheat burritos in the microwave for about 3 minutes, wrapped in a damp paper towel to avoid it from drying out or for 15-20 minutes in a 400 degree oven.
From the fridge: defrost in the fridge the night before and microwave for 1.5 minutes.

TIPS AND NOTES ABOUT MAKING FROZEN STEAK BURRITOS

I do not recommend putting in any sour cream/guac/etc into the burrito before freezing as they do not reheat well. Serve it on the side after the burritos are reheated if you desire.
I would also skip greens (ie lettuce, cilantro) as they do not reheat well.
Your microwave’s settings may be different from mine so I recommend that on first re-heat, to try a lower 2-3 minutes first to see if it’s fully reheated instead of going to 4 directly. Mine reheats it in 4 minutes but yours may not!
The ingredient amount is not set in stone! Adjust it as you please – you may want more chicken or more cheese and less onions, etc. Make it something that you’ll look forward to eating 🙂
I marinaded my steak in Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce for an hour before bringing it to room temperature and searing and cooking it in a cast iron with butter and olive oil.
If you don’t want to freeze them in a plastic baggy, the burritos fit perfectly into rectangular meal prep containers as well!
