Creamy Black Bean Taquito Meal Prep

Ingredients

• 1 batch Creamy Black Bean Taquitos (16 total)
• 4 cups Cilantro Lime Rice
• 1 cup salsa (1/4 cup per meal)

Instructions

1. This meal prep includes: 1 batch Creamy Black Bean Taquitos (16 total): $4.83, 4 cups Cilantro Lime Rice: $1.32, 1 cup salsa (1/4 cup per meal): $0.92.
2. Total Cost: $7.08
3. Cost per Meal: $1.77
4. Notes: The original recipe for the Cilantro Lime Rice makes six cups, but I didn’t want to have leftovers, so I cut the batch down to make about 4 cups. To do that I used 1.5 cups rice and 2.25 cups broth. I reduced the lime juice and cilantro accordingly as well (estimated).
5. I didn’t actually store the meals with the salsa container inside the larger glass container. The small square Ziploc containers that I used for the salsa (photo below) were too tall to properly close the lid on the glass containers, but I put them in there for the photo so that everything could be pictured together.
6. The original recipe for the taquitos is linked throughout this post. The recipe for Cilantro Lime Rice is also linked.
7. To reheat, microwave the taquitos and rice. They will not stay crispy upon reheating.
8. Optional: Crumble queso fresco over the rice.
9. Optional side: Warm Corn and Avocado Salad.
10. Optional: Make your own salsa using the Fire Roasted Salsa recipe.
11. Substitute for Cilantro Lime Rice: Easy Taco Rice.
12. For dairy-free option, use Tofutti cream cheese.
13. For flour tortillas, they can be used instead of corn tortillas.
