Freezer Burritos

1 pound 96/4 lean ground beef
1 small onion - chopped
1 green bell pepper - chopped
1 large zucchini - chopped
1/2 jalapeno (or more), seeded and minced
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 cans diced tomatoes with green chilis (if you can find, Trader Joes has them), drained of excess water.
1 tsp oregano
1.5 tsp cumin
1.5 tsp chili powder
Large tortillas - Burrito size or wrap size
Shredded Cheese

1.  Brown meat in a large saute pan until no longer pink.  Drain on paper towels and set aside.
2.  Wipe out pan and add a drizzle of olive oil.  Saute peppers 1-2 minutes.  Add onion, zucchini and jalapeno and saute until vegetables are tender.
3.  Add tomatoes, beans and reserved meat.  Add spices and simmer a few minutes until spices are absorbed and most of the water evaporates.
3.  Put a large scoop of filling into tortilla, sprinkle with a little cheese.  Fold up 2 edges and then roll the burrito.  Wrap in aluminum foil.
4.  Put burritos in a large ziploc bag and freeze.

To reheat, remove from foil, wrap in a paper towel and microwave on high for 3 minutes, then bake at 425 for 10 minutes or until crisp.
