Easiest Enchiladas EVER

Ok this isn't a freezer meal, but it is the quickest prep meal I know that isn't take-out. I make these all the time because they take about 7 minutes to make and not that long to cook. Seriously, we probably eat these once a week.

Mix together:
1 can beans, drained (black or pinto)
1 can corn, drained
1 can chicken (actually I skip this most the time and it is still good)
Around a cup of cheese
Enough salsa to moisten everything up, maybe 3/4 to 1 cup

Grease 9x13 pan. Divide mixture into the small sized tortillas (about 12 or so), roll them up and put in pan. Open one can red enchilada sauce, (14 oz size) and pour over top. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes. We eat them with sour cream and lettuce.

This is usually enough for Curt and I to eat for dinner and lunch the next day, without the chicken added. You could easily double it or just make it like a layered casserole if that is easier.

Other freezer meal ideas-- I've made Liza's recipe for lasagna, cooked and then frozen that before and you just have to plan ahead and take it out the night before or in the morning and then bake for about an hour. If you are making lasagna anyway, it is easy to make a lot for later.

Freezer meal ideas?

Okay, I need some freezer meal ideas that I can make with Scott. Our idea for date night this week or next is to make a bunch of freezer measl that Scott can do for dinners. 'Cause by 5 pm, I am stuck on the couch for the night! (Or 9 am like today...) I figure we just need to make it til this baby comes (along with Mom) and then we'll be okay, but that is 1 month away, so help please!
