Servings:

1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic minced
1/2 cup onion yellow; diced
1/2 cup bell pepper red; diced
1/2 cup corn, kernels frozen or canned will work
1 1/2 cup rice; brown cooked
2 1/2 cup pinto beans canned or cooked from dried
4 tbsp taco seasoning
1/3 cup salsa
1/4 cup cilantro chopped
1 lime juiced
2 cup cheddar jack cheese shredded
8 tortillas large, burrito-sized

Instructions

In a large pan over medium heat, add olive oil, onion and red pepper. Cook 3 minutes then add garlic. Cook an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add red pepper, corn, brown rice, pinto beans, taco seasoning and salsa. Mix well and allow to cook another 1-2 minutes.

Taking one tortilla at a time, place ¼ cup shredded cheese and ½ cup of bean and rice mixture. Roll, tuck in sides, and finish rolling, then place on a rimmed baking sheet.
Repeat with remaining 7 burritos, then place entire baking sheet in freezer for 2-3 hours, until frozen solid. At this point you an wrap them individually in tinfoil or transfer them all to a large Ziplock bag for safe keeping.
