This convenient Mexican-inspired jar meal is perfect for busy nights. It’s simple to prepare and heats up easily, making it a go-to for a quick and satisfying dinner.
Equipment
- Pressure Canner
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup dry pinto beans
- 1/4 cup uncooked rice
- 1/3 cup diced onion
- 1/3 cup chopped bell pepper
- 1 cup cooked ground beef drained
- 4 tablespoons Rotel (diced tomatoes and green chilies)
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Beef broth enough to fill quart jars, leaving 1-inch headspace
Instructions
- In each quart jar, layer your ingredients as follows: start with dry pinto beans, then add the uncooked rice, followed by the diced bell peppers and onions.
- Next, add the browned and drained ground beef to the jar, and then spoon the Rotel over it, finishing with the taco seasoning and salt.
- Top off the jar with beef broth, ensuring to leave about an inch of space at the top for expansion during canning.
- Seal the jars firmly and place them into your pressure canner. Process the jars at 10 pounds of pressure for 90 minutes to safely preserve your burrito mix.
- When ready to enjoy, simply heat the contents and wrap them in soft tortillas. Enhance with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, or your desired burrito toppings for a delightful meal.
