Steps:
- Cook the brown rice according to the package directions. Transfer to a large bowl and cool completely.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add the tomato paste, chile powder and cumin and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the black beans, squash, 1 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until the beans are soft and most of the liquid has reduced but the mixture is still slightly saucy, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the spinach, in batches if needed, and fold in until wilted. Allow to cool completely.
- Lay the tortillas out on a clean work surface. Put 1/2 cup of the rice in the center of each tortilla, about 1 inch from the edges, and top with about 1/2 cup of the bean filling. Sprinkle each with 2 heaping tablespoons Cheddar, and add a few dashes of hot sauce. Fold the edge nearest to you over the filling, fold in the sides and finish rolling up. Wrap tightly first in plastic wrap and then in foil, and freeze for up to 2 weeks.
- To reheat in a microwave: Wrap the frozen burrito in parchment paper and microwave on high until hot in the center, 4 to 5 minutes.
- For the crunchy oven method: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray each side of the burrito generously with cooking spray and place seam-side down on a baking sheet. Cook until golden and crispy on the outside and hot inside, turning about halfway through, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Serve with reduced-fat sour cream, salsa and guacamole if desired.
FREEZER BURRITOS
I love burritos, but the frozen types are so high in sodium, I created these. They're a perfect option to have on hand for quick dinners or late-night snacks-I've even had them for breakfast sometimes! -Laura Winemiller, Delta, Pennsylvania

MAKE-AHEAD BURRITOS
We have two children who keep us busy, so I love meals I can just pull out of the freezer. The burritos are wrapped individually so it's easy to take out only the number you need. I serve them with canned refried beans and Spanish rice from a boxed mix. -Jennifer Shafer, Durham, North Carolina.

FREEZER BURRITOS
Rather than ordering takeout on a weeknight, take out an ingenious preassembled meal. Saute some minced garlic and chili powder and stir in cooked beans; spread it on a tortilla; and layer on cooked rice, cheese, and any shredded meat and vegetables you like. Then swaddle and stash in the freezer -- the burritos can be defrosted in the microwave or oven and couldn't be more satisfying.

Steps:
- Heat a medium skillet over medium-high. Swirl in oil. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add chili powder; cook 30 seconds. Add chiles; cook 1 minute. Add beans and liquid, season with salt and pepper, and cook, mashing with a potato masher or the back of a spoon, until liquid is reduced and thickened, and some beans are mashed and some are whole, about 2 minutes.
- Layer each tortilla with 1/3 cup bean mixture, followed by 1/4 cup each rice; cheese; meat, tofu, or vegetables; and greens. Fold in edges, then roll up into a tight package. Wrap each in plastic wrap, then freeze in a single layer. Transfer to freezer bags and store in freezer up to 3 months.
- To serve, defrost and heat through burritos in a microwave, flipping once, 2 minutes (or in a 350-degree oven, wrapped in foil, 25 minutes). Heat a little oil in a medium nonstick skillet; add reheated burrito. Cook until crisp and browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients
- Spoon by 1/3 cupfuls into center of tortillas & fold into burrito
- Wrap individually with wax, parchment paper or foil. Place in freezer bag and freeze. From frozen these can be reheated in the microwave. Unwrap & heat in microwave for 1 1/2-2 minutes. (If you warm these up in the paper the tortilla tends to stick to it & don't ever put foil in the microwave!!) If they are defrosted they can be reheated in toaster oven for a crispier outside.

- Cook your quinoa/brown rice according to package instructions either on the stove top or in the microwave. I like just using microwavable packages to save time but you can do either. While to rice is cooking slice onion, peppers (removing ribs and seeds) into strips or a large dice.
- Add sliced onion, peppers, olive oil and taco seasoning to a small skillet and saute on medium heat for 5 minutes or until veggies are soft. Add corn to skillet and cook another 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Wrap tortillas in several damp paper towels and microwave for 30 seconds until warm. While the tortillas are warming open and rinse canned black beans.
- Once all your fillings are prepped it is time to fill the burritos. In the upper-center of a warm tortilla add 1/4 cup each of rice/quinoa, black beans, veggies, and cheese. Then a tbsp of taco sauce. You can add more cheese if you wish, and if you are substituting meat you will not need as much of the other ingredients.
