Freezer Bean Burritos with homemade beans

I love bean burritos! We used to eat them all the time growing up, my mom called them cheese crisps and would fry up a tortilla with some cheese in a pan over the stove and then heat up some refried beans and then we'd roll it up and dip it in ranch or catillina dressing. So yummy! I've never made my own beans before and have always wanted to try but thought it would be really hard or long to do..... well it isn't :) and they turned out so yummy I don't think I will ever buy canned beans again! I loved that you could make a bunch of burritos and put them in the freezer for another day. Like today, I ate one of the frozen ones for lunch. Quick, healthy and delicious!

I found this at Six Sisters Stuff

For the beans:
1 onion, peeled and halved
3 cups dried pinto beans, rinsed (you can also use black beans)
2 Tbsp minced garlic
3 tsp salt
1 3/4 tsp fresh ground pepper
1/2 tsp ground cumin
5 cups water
4 cups chicken broth

Place the onion, rinsed beans, garlic, salt, pepper, and cumin into a slow cooker. Pour in the water and broth and stir to combine. Cook on high for 8 hours, adding more water as needed. If more that 1 cup of water has evaporated during cooking, then the temp is too high. *I kept watching it and would add water as I saw it dropping
Once the beans have cooked, strain them and reserve the liquid. Mash the beans with a potato masher (I just used the paddle attachment on my kitchen aid), and add some of the reserved water until you reach your desired consistency.

For the Burritos

18-24 tortillas (I used high fiber, whole wheat ones)
2-3 cups shredded cheese
the beans

Spoon some beans on the tortilla and add as much cheese as you want. Fold in the two sides and roll it up. Flash freeze them then roll them up in foil and stick in freezer. To reheat them, just unwrap and wrap in paper towel and reheat for about 2 minutes til heated through.

I liked to top mine with a little sour cream and salsa!
