frozen burritos

Freezer aisle staples

Frozen burritos are prepackaged burritos sold in the freezer section, designed for quick reheating in a microwave or oven.

They're a staple of convenience food—cheap, filling, and requiring no cooking skill: I lived on frozen burritos in college.

Quality varies from rubbery cafeteria fare to surprisingly decent options.
