But none of them can compare with the invention of the <em>frozen burrito<\/em>. Who doesn&#8217;t (secretly) love a good frozen burrito? Today, we&#8217;re removing the stigma from this delicious convenience food by making our own version that is healthy and unprocessed. <\/p>\n<p>I have reverse engineered my favorite frozen burritos (yes, this is what I do for a living) to create this potato, corn, and black bean filling that has all the magical frozen burrito flavors you love, but only fresh and natural ingredients. You can whip up a big batch in just a few minutes and have healthy frozen burritos on hand for weeks. Your guilty pleasure&#8230; now without the guilt.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" itemprop=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/FrozenBurritoSalsa.jpg\" alt=\"Frozen Burrito\" width=\"700\" height=\"914\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1995\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/FrozenBurritoSalsa.jpg 700w, https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/FrozenBurritoSalsa-230x300.jpg 230w, https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/FrozenBurritoSalsa-364x475.jpg 364w, https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/FrozenBurritoSalsa-608x794.jpg 608w, https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/FrozenBurritoSalsa-313x409.jpg 313w, https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/FrozenBurritoSalsa-37x48.jpg 37w, https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/FrozenBurritoSalsa-74x96.jpg 74w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Makes 4-5 frozen burritos<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-green\">\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Ingredients:<\/h4>\n<div class=\"one-half first\">\n<ul>\n<li itemprop=\"recipeIngredient\">1 large potato<\/li>\n<li itemprop=\"recipeIngredient\">16 oz can black beans<\/li>\n<li itemprop=\"recipeIngredient\">1\/2 white onion<\/li>\n<li itemprop=\"recipeIngredient\">2\/3 cup corn (fresh or frozen)<\/li>\n<li itemprop=\"recipeIngredient\">2 roma tomatoes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"one-half\">\n<ul>\n<li itemprop=\"recipeIngredient\">1 green bell pepper<\/li>\n<li itemprop=\"recipeIngredient\">2 cloves garlic<\/li>\n<li itemprop=\"recipeIngredient\">1\/2 jalapeno pepper<\/li>\n<li itemprop=\"recipeIngredient\">sea salt, cumin, coriander to taste<\/li>\n<li itemprop=\"recipeIngredient\">4-5 large tortillas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h4>Step One<\/h4>\n<p>Prepare all the ingredients: peel and dice the potato, drain the can of beans, and roughly chop the onion, tomatoes, bell pepper, garlic, and jalape\u00f1o into medium-sized chunks. Add all the ingredients (except tortillas) to a food processor and pulse until all the large pieces have been broken down but some smaller chunks remain.  <\/p>\n<p>Variation: use any other type of beans in place of, or addition to, the black beans. Try a combo of black and pinto beans, or pinto and kidney beans, etc. You can&#8217;t go wrong experimenting with your favorite varieties. <\/p>\n<h4>Step Two<\/h4>\n<p>Transfer this mixture to a saucepan and allow to simmer over medium heat for 15-20 minutes. This cooks the potatoes thoroughly and allows all the flavors to mingle. Give it a taste to adjust any seasonings. When it&#8217;s perfect, remove from the heat and allow to cool before continuing.<\/p>\n<p>Note: this filling, by itself, makes a great black bean &#038; potato dip for tortilla chips. I often reserve a cup or two, stick it in the fridge, and eat it like salsa. <\/p>\n<h4>Step Three<\/h4>\n<p>Roll the burritos. Start with a large tortilla and add the filling lengthwise. Tuck in the two ends and roll around the filling. Cover with foil or plastic wrap and freeze until ready to be eaten. You can either reheat by popping them right in their foil into a 350\u00ba oven until the center is warm, or in typical frozen burrito fashion, using a microwave. Simply remove from the foil, add to a plate and cook for about 2 minutes on each side. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Question of the Day:<\/strong> I know you would <em>never<\/em> eat at convenience stores like 7-Eleven, but if you were forced to get something to eat from a convenience store, what would you choose? <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/FrozenBurritoWhole.jpg\" alt=\"Frozen Burrito Whole\" width=\"700\" height=\"934\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1994\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/FrozenBurritoWhole.jpg 700w, https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/FrozenBurritoWhole-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/FrozenBurritoWhole-364x486.jpg 364w, https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/FrozenBurritoWhole-608x811.jpg 608w, https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/FrozenBurritoWhole-313x418.jpg 313w, https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/FrozenBurritoWhole-36x48.jpg 36w, https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/FrozenBurritoWhole-72x96.jpg 72w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/FrozenBurritoFoil.jpg\" alt=\"Frozen Burrito Foil\" width=\"700\" height=\"910\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1996\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/FrozenBurritoFoil.jpg 700w, https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/FrozenBurritoFoil-231x300.jpg 231w, https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/FrozenBurritoFoil-364x473.jpg 364w, https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/FrozenBurritoFoil-608x790.jpg 608w, https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/FrozenBurritoFoil-313x407.jpg 313w, https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/FrozenBurritoFoil-37x48.jpg 37w, https:\/\/oneingredientchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/FrozenBurritoFoil-74x96.jpg 74w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 20th century saw a lot of great inventions: the personal computer, the automobile, antibiotics.
