freeze them so they dont get soggy.

>>13091396
I kinda wish I knew how to make homemade frozen burritos.

>lettuce
gonna have a bad time

>putting food directly on the counter
I hope you get sick

>>13091406
Whats the difference between using a wooden counter and a cutting board

are you in a hotel?

>>13091416
no?

>>13091402
>make filling
>place filling on large flour torillas
>wrap, and roll.
>cover with paper towel and parchment paper.
>wrap in cling film
>store in freezer bag

Remove cling film when ready to nuke.

>>13091396

>prepping a whole burrito

just keep a container of the meat filling chilled in the fridge like the rest of the ingredients and assemble them when you go to eat them

>>13091396
Rules of meal prepping

>choose food that can last 5 days
If you don't know how to do that
>choose food that can be frozen, but also ready after a night in the fridge.

Easy meals

-salad with chicken and some ranch - only last a day or two but is easily made

-rice with veggies and whatever meat you want (can last 2 days but is easy made and can be frozen)

-pasta salad, can last two days

-fruit bowl, can last mutiply days in closed container and in fridge

-hummus with fresh veggies, can last long if veggies are stored in fridge in a glass of water

>>13091413
well that counter has a finish on it

>>13091423
No I just want to grab one of them out the fridge in the morning and go to work

>>13091402
It's not exactly rocket science

>>13091444
It's gonna be disgusting

I remember some anon posted some weeaboo food he keeps in his freezer a few prepcuck threads ago. It looked pretty good, better than soggy lettuce and tortillas at least.

>>13091444
holy fucking shit you are retarded. Why didn't you just hold the lettuce and plop these in a freezer bag? Toaster oven/microwave when you're packing one for work.

>>13091444
>day four of burrito in plastic tube
>warm up in dirty office microwave

>>13091396
That chicken is going to go bad in 3 days bro

>>13091474
dude its cooked chicken, it'll hold at least a week

>>13091458
Because it supposed to be ready to go fuck face.

>>13091502
You are disgusting

>>13091421
Never thought about parchment paper or cling wrap. Is that to keep frost off it?
>>13091444
Your not wrong, but wasn't sure of methods to do it best.

Just eat All 6 now its goin to be sheit m8

>>13091510
>Never thought about parchment paper or cling wrap. Is that to keep frost off it?

Well I wouldn't be prepping burritos for the next month where freezer burn would get at them. Plus if you kept them in a freezer bag they would be fine. It's more to keep them 'fresh' when you are thawing them out.

>>13091502
might as well put your shit and cum in a bag and put it in the fridge if you care this little about taste and texture, you fuckass. you don't have 5 more fucking minutes to heat shit up? are you the CEO of 10 different companies and a prime minister and a single mom? enjoy your shitty seaweed lettuce you subhuman

>>13091519
>prep for the next month
That's kinda want though. Make like 10 of them and eat over the course of a month.
>pre thaw
Couldn't I do that in the microwave though?

>>13091396
Beef stroganoff in the cool season
Serve over pasta.

>>13091400
Freeze them so they'll be even soggier when you heat them up

OK whatever I'm gonna keep two of them in the freezer for Thursday and Friday and thaw them. Might as well try.

Also you see the red circle? That's Adam Raguseas Bolognese. It's fucking amazing after work.

>>13091527
I know it's not going to be Taco Bell quality you fucking moron, it's just supposed to be an easy prepped meal for work.

>>13091533
desu you'll probably just end up with a soggy burrito one way or the other, frozen foods that are mass produced have the benefits of vacuum seals which cut down on frost (even in a little baggy you can get some build up and freezer burn) as well as having carefully calibrated moisture contents for the recipe.
results may vary between brands, but the end goal of any frozen meal or snack is to be not only edible, but preferable over the next shitty frozen burrito

>>13091546
uh I would aim for better than taco bell because taco bell is fucking disgusting and if you are aiming for below taco bell you might as well just use his recipe that guy sounds experienced with it

>>13091544
>>13091396
I always have extra burritos and I freeze them but I only use refried beans, cheese and shredded meat. They come out fine reheated in the microwave. Your problem is you put lettuce and tomato inside which will be terrible after freezing. Just bring lettuce and tomato in a separate container and put it on top after reheating.

>>13091544
bait

>>13091544
Is that a cup of uncovered bolognese in your freezer?

>>13091554
I noticed that too...

>>13091547
>>13091542
t. has never actually properly frozen food before
all op needed to do was not put watery shit in and just eat a fucking side salad with it instead.

>>13091551
>anon keeps cup of uncovered chili in his freezer long enough for it to frost over just for a shitpost
insanity but I'd believe it.

>>13091559
I literally just mentioned moisture content calibration you mong
i'm one of the guys who was calibrating the machines in industrial settings specifically for this shit

>>13091565
there's also a chicken breast? just hanging out far right

>>13091556
>>13091554
what the fuck would covering do. it's frozen. been doing it for months

>>13091572
Oh shit you're right. What kind of mad man does it take to waste food just to make shitposts on a mongolian barbecue forum?

>>13091396
burritos are really unhealthy.

>>13091580
Normally you know you cover it before you freeze it...

Because it'll get freezer burned which is kinda disgusting

>>13091568
was replying to you with something else and deleted it but forgot to scroll up to take the tag out, only meant to reply to this tard >>13091542

>>13091587
Wasting food? It's fucking frozen chicken. It's hard as a rock. I just thaw in water and then use it. It's perfectly fine.

>>13091580
Get some freezer bags you fucking moron.

>>13091547
Damn. If only I had a toaster oven. I'll just have to research into it more.

>>13091598
only the top first millimeter will get "freezer burned", whatever that means for a bolognese sauce...who gives a shit.

now this thread is getting based

>>13091595
>burritos are unhealthy.

its literally a little flour, water and salt that goes into the dough.

the rest is a bunch of veggies and meat. what the fuck is not healthy about this

>>13091622
Seriously you have the worst freezer/ food habits wtf...

I don't even know what to say..

And so aggressive, chill dude>>13091621

dude>>13091621
>>13091635
??????

>>13091635
All right, since you guys seem to love getting triggered by my freezer here's another one for you. I keep this giant block of vegetable soup. UNCOVERED. WOOOO FUCKING CRUCIFY ME. It's because I had to use the bowls again to freeze the rest of the bolognese, as you can see - which again, yes, is meme man Adam Raguseas recipe.

>>13091643
Sorry it was a mistake
It's OP whos an aggressive fuck

>>13091648
All your shit is uncovered

You don't trigger, you disgust wtf...

Are you like 12?

alright OP we're gonna start needing timestamps. let us see the rest of your humble abode.

>>13091612
oh okay that makes sense

>>13091580
well just the very top layer will dry out really, not that big a deal but still not ideal
i'm surprised there isnt more frost on it though, probably helps its a small batch

>>13091614
i'd advise having it's own box for cross contamination issues but I dont see much else wrong with it
slight freezer burn on cheap meat never killed anyone
i think

I keep some chops loose packed still similar to this but they're at least in an unsealed bag you animal

>>13091621
i mean, depending on what you put into your burrito mix and how it's layered will make a big difference
if you have greasy meat it'll thaw grease into anything around it, especially the bread and dampen it
same goes with juicy things like tomatoes
good choices are things like onions and peppers, they keep most of their juices inside
chickens good for this too, and you can use beef but you may need to strain it or add a little binder, think hamburger instead of sloppy joes

>>13091648
wait are you actually stacking these on eachother without lids? at all?
i've toyed with the idea of making ice cube trays of soup and then storing the cubes in bags but this is kinda fucked up op

I almost wonder if this isn’t some elaborate troll to make pr*Poids look pathetic, no one can be this dumb surely. Fess up

Why do you fucking retards ALWAYS go for wraps and burritos which consist of ingredients meant to be hot and others meant to be cold. Like, lettuce? Really dude? You're gonna freeze and then reheat the shit out of lettuce? It's gonna turn to goddamn slime.

>>13091648
>Hey anon, why does your soup taste like stale ice cubes?

a regular white loaf has like 3 days on the counter max before it's too tough. he'd need to get into sourdough to bake a loaf that lasts a week.

>>13091625
facts

>>13091954
this. the same thing would taste fine outside the burrito, and easier to re-heat and add a side salad too. Just make a 'burrito bowl' (aka rice beans meat and veg, and freeze without this bullshit double tripple wrapping to maintain the tortilla. When reheating just microwave or oven, then when hot add your lettuce on top. ?!?!? no more 'its just like the package from the store' cuz its fucking not

>>13091421
Don’t use paper towel, it’s clings to the tortilla. Parchment is BASED though.

>>13091396
>I wonder what that last one on Friday will taste like...

>>13092261
what, you mean put raw chicken in like a cardboard box or something?

>>13092660

>>13091396
>lettuce in a frozen burrito
You're going to regret that. If you want vegetables then fry some bell peppers or something.

>tfw just make a few pounds of baked chicken on Sunday and eat it cold throughout the week
not half bad.

>>13091466
>tourist meme

>>13091648
>the bowls

>>13091396
Ive just read a few posts in this thread. covering items to be frozen is not a meme or a trick anon, it is appropriate.

>>13091396
Why didn't you keep the ingredients separate and assemble the burrito in the morning before you leave for work? Also, why didn't you create any variation at all? You could have used different spices and ingredients so you don't eat the same shitty burrito every day.

>>13091542

>>13091544
You need to seal your food you idiot. Throw out that chicken as it's freezer burned. The bolognese might be okay of only the top got bit.

>>13091595
>flour tortilla
>rice
>beans
>vegetables
>meat
>lime
>spices
>salt
Nothing wrong with that. If they are large they can be a high calorie meal, so you just need to factor that into your day or not eat the entire burrito for one meal. Using converted rice, brown rice, wild rice, or another whole grain would be nice for more complex carbs and fiber and lower on the glycemic scale instead of white rice.

>>13091896
roll for OP to lose power

>>13091396
Your burritos will be fucked after a day or two max. You have to keep the fillings and tortillas separate until you're ready to eat. If the filling contains air-sensitive ingredients like avocado, then that has to be separated too.

>why bother with freezer bags?? it's only the top!!
>has entire blocks of soup sitting uncovered on all sides
>has raw, looser chicken sitting on top of/next to prepped and prepackaged food
Imagine being a wagie and you don't even have time to properly freeze nor the money for freezer bags. You must work 2 jobs at Walmart and Mcdonalds and pay child support or some shit.

>>13091648
what a chad move

>>13094812
Even so, he ought to have some crappy disposable tupperwares from buying things like shitty deli meat and takeout. Surely OP could afford those loose bags that come with zip ties, which are way cheaper per bag. I use them for counter, fridge, and freezer stuff that I know I will use quickly and don't need to waste a zipper bag on. Cut onions and certain things always go in zipper bags though as they will stink to high hell if not sealed air tight and some things should be well sealed even if they're going to be used soon.

>>13096158
*twist ties

>>13091434
>Storing veggies in a glass of water
T-t-thats not really a thing right anon?

>>13096509
Potatoes need to stay submerged after they're peeled or cut while still raw and herbs do better wrapped in a damp paper towel, but you can also put the stems in water to keep them fresher. I haven't seen this done with other stuff though.

OP here again, had one of the burritos at lunch, non-reheated. They were fucking heavenly. a little chewy but good as fuck. I will 100% put this in my regiment

>>13091648
Americans :/

>>13091396
In my experience anything with pasta will generally keep longer and become tastier as time passes. I like to make
>Orzo salad with lemon juice, orzo, kalamata olive, feta cheese, kidney beans, etc
>Mac n cheese
>Plain ole spaghetti
>Potato salad
>Casseroles
>Quickly steam some veggies the night before and take to work with rice

>>13097730
Cool the ingredients in the fridge before putting the burritos together and freezing it helps them not get all chewy

>>13091648

Foil spoilage is no joke. I don't do leftovers past day 2, and anything with cooked rice? 1 day only. Bacillus cereus bacterium comes right in the dry rice, and it's nasty food poisoning.
Why not pack a tortilla and stuff it with frozen reheated filling at work?

>I kinda wish I knew how to make homemade frozen burritos.
Frozen tamales freeze excellently, and rewarm better. Vary the fillings, and salsas/hot sauce to hit them with, after heating.
Instead of a burrito, consider using corn tortillas rather than flour tortillas, and making a layered casserole of the items you'd want in a burrito. The enchilada and moist sauces will keep all tortillas hydrated on both sides. Slice like lasagna, and freeze squares for reheating. Pulled chicken, pork, black beans, cheese(s), sauce, lots of lime zest and cilantro. Coat each square with a dollop of sour cream before freezing.

On my more boring days for work lunches, I buy the Wrap Out flatbreads (100 cals, high fiber, etc). I spread them with either plain cream cheese and a slice of smoked or spicy lunch meat, and then add veggies, roll in wax paper or parchment, then tuck into a ziploc, or foil or whatever lunchbox. From my fridge, I have precleaned arugula or baby greens, shreds of bell peppers, baby cukes, jarred peppers or pickles, avocado, tomatoes, whatever. I like to vary it each day by changing up the cream cheese to onion or dill, adding that avocado yogurt dressing or the asian makoto ginger dressing to the veggies. Though it's nearly the same thing each day, it's utterly different Can be made the night before or veggies prepped the night before. The cream cheese is like a barrier for the bread, or can use sliced cheese the same. Turn your bread sideways to make a thicker/more filling, or keep it longways to feature more the cheese and meat. Slice in half and you can do 2 meals.

Leftover bread=pizza

>What are some actually good meal prepping foods?
10/10 thread, hope you earned something.
Other than that, try /fit/ for these ideas if you aren't satisfied after this. They usually have meal prep threads more often than we do.
So without mentioning chicken, rice and broccoli any more than it is, give simple breakfast items a try. Eggs can actually stand to be reheated even 5 days later. You're looking for low-moisture foods really, whereas that moisture can breed bacteria much faster throughout the week if you haven't cook the food "properly" (or stored it properly...). But things like soups and chili stand with moisture in surplus just fine - don't ask me why this balance is the way it is.
>chili and cornbread, low-fat fish, fried veggies, breakfast sandwiches, pancakes, stir-fry

How do I make a burrito? I've never had one, but they look damned delicious.

i have like 8yellow bellpeppers and 6 onions and im thinking of sauteeing them with dry minced garlic, salt, pepper and the freezing them in lil disposible plastic packaging containers and then throwing them over a thin metal skillet at the next bbq. people could put them in their carnitas or cheeseburgers or 99c pack of hotdogs n white bread,,, what do you think, good idea?

fucking imagine eating the exact same microwaved garbage every single day.
imagine how fucking sad and meaningless their lives must be. i honestly pity you but heres an S for spitting on your food

i made some burritos with my foodbank haul the other day

-free stuff-
eight 12oz tubs of hummus
2lb bag of diced carrots
---mixed with 32oz of ranchero salsa
---28oz of diced white onion + a few more onions
about 16oz of tabouli and banana peppers in a few of the burritos
10 tortillas

stuff i bought/cooked and added
2 turned into 6?cups of spanish rice
1cup turned into 3?cups of lentils
2cups or so of hemp seed
20 more tortillas

it made like 30 burritos frozen in my freezer
i individually wrapped in parchment paper then trippled wrapped them in plastic shopping bags to reduce freezer burn. theyll all be eaten within 6weeks by me, roommates as well as guests.
>preheat toaster oven to full blast
>microwave for 3 minutes until fully cooked
>place in toaster over at toast setting for 3minutes to crisp up tortilla
pbr! potato, beans, and rice!
potato = carrots and onions
beans = hummus and lentils
rice = spanish rice and hemp seed

>>13091403
Having wilted lettuce in a burrito is totally legit. Its not in a fast food warmer its in your own food. After freezing and microwaving its just fine. No its not cool crisp iceberg but it adds to the dish not subtracts. The idea that iceberg has to be perfectly crisp all the time is a Zoomer meme.

>>13091550
>>13091961
No it will not be. Itll add texture and taste and moisture.
Yes frozen then thawed on a plate itll be terrible. Inside a burrito it will be actually good, kid.
