Bean, Rice and Corn Burritos

My family loved this meatless burrito recipe.  I made a full recipe so that we would have plenty to freeze and re heat later.  They make great lunches!

20 whole wheat or whole grain flour tortillas
3 c cooked brown rice
2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can corn, drained
1 can diced green chilies
1 T chili powder
1 t ground cumin
8 oz low fat sharp cheddar cheese (I get the Kroger brand on sale then freeze it until I need it)

Combine rice, beans,corn, green chilies and spices in a large bowl. Warm tortillas and place approx 1 T cheese then 1/4 c rice mixture in the middle of the tortilla. Tuck in sides, then roll up.  Place seam side down on a sprayed cookie sheet.  Repeat until you've used all ingredients.  Spray the tops of the burritos with cooking spray and bake at 375 until the burritos are browned and crispy.  Serve with salsa and fat free sour cream if desired. 

After these burritos cool, just put one each in a zipper style sandwich size bag and freeze.  When you are ready to reheat, just open the bag, place in microwave for about one minute.

Makes 20 servings.
