MAKE-AHEAD BURRITOS OR CHIMICHANGAS
These are great to have on hand for busy weeknights. I make a big batch and freeze them so that we can have them on nights when there is no time for ANYTHING! Throw them in a preheated 350 degree oven still frozen and still in the foil and in an hour, you have a yummy hot dinner. Great for using up leftovers and OAMC. Originally from BHG monthly cooking contest - many years ago!
