To help with ease of meals for him, I made two different kinds of burritos that we froze. They turned out to be really delicious and froze great! I was worried with freezing the tortilla shells that they would get soggy over time but, I took one to work the other day with me and it was yummy!

Make it:

- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
- Place 1-2 tablespoons of the filling on a tortilla, roll up like a burrito- tucking in the ends.
