Place the ground beef in a large skillet. Cook, chopping it finely while doing so, over medium-high heat, until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Drain off any grease.

Add taco seasoning and three cups of water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring fairly often, until thickened. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Assemble each burrito by spreading about two spoonfuls of refried beans in the center of each burrito and topping that with about two spoonfuls of seasoned beef and a generous handful of shredded cheddar cheese.
Fold the burrito up by folding each side into the center, according to the directions and photos in this post. Place the burritos into zipper-seal freezer bags, not touching or separated by waxed paper, and freeze.
To reheat, place a burrito, uncovered, on a microwave-safe plate and microwave for two minutes or until heated through.
