Convenient Food 2, Enchiladas

Another way I use the freezer is to make frozen burritos with leftovers.

Take all of the mixin's from burrito night: cheese, meat, beans, even sour cream and leftover salsa, (hold the lettuce) and fold together.

Wrap the filling into tortillas and fold. Place them flat on a cookie sheet and freeze. Once they have frozen hard, transfer them to a ziplock bag.

Now the kids can use them as a quick microwavable snack or you can use them as a fast food dinner.

I have had luck pulling these out, setting them in a lightly greased dish to defrost awhile, then pouring a can of enchilada sauce over them before I bake them.

If you don't have a can of enchilada sauce here is a recipe:

Boil 2 cups of any broth with 1/2 onion, a clove of garlic, a pinch of oregano, one bay leaf, 1 tsp cayenne and 4 Tbl. Chili powder. Reduce heat and simmer about 30 minutes. Remove bay leaf, blend.

Now be careful, I use a hand held kitchenaid mixer. If you put it in your blender hot -- you might decorate the ceiling.

Pour over your burritos, top with cheese and bake till bubbly.
