Freezer Friendly Friday - It's a Wrap!

This lady calls it a wrap. I call it a burrito. Not that it matters. All that matters is that I NO LONGER have to pack a lunch (or breakfast!) for my husband before he leaves for work!

This recipe can be mixed up SOOO many ways and, of course, I added some random things of my own, but here goes:

Chicken Taco Wraps

1-2 lbs. cooked, shredded or cubed chicken breast
4 cups water
2 cups salsa - any kind
1/4 cup taco seasoning mix (about 2 pkgs. if you don't buy it in bulk)
4 cups instant BROWN rice (just do it - you know it is healthier!)
1-2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed - (it will decrease the gassiness!!)
1 can corn, drained
flour tortillas
grated cheddar cheese - optional, but yummy!

Boil chicken, water, salsa and seasonings in saucepan. Add rice. Boil for 5 minutes, then remove from heat. Mix with beans, corn, and any other add-ins you love. Spoon into tortilla, add cheese, then wrap up like a burrito (fold the first half in, then the sides, then roll). Place them on a cookie sheet, quick freeze them for a couple hours, then wrap up in plastic wrap or foil and freeze.

To reheat: Microwave for 2-2.5 minutes. Enjoy with sour cream, or ketchup, if you are like my guy.

Makes about 20.
