In about 45 minutes, you can stock your kitchen with 5 different healthy freezer meals that are ready and waiting for you when you need dinner FAST! These quick recipes only require about 5 minutes to prepare, making a week of meals simple and easy. Best of all, I have even included a free printable shopping list for a truly effortless experience!

Whether you’re a fan of freezer meals or not, we can all agree that healthy 5-minute dinner recipes are like precious little gems, no? We’re all busy, we’re all juggling multiple commitments, and we’re all happy to have a shortcut in the kitchen every now and then. There’s just nothing better than arriving home from work to a meal that’s already prepared and just waiting to be popped in the oven! No guilt about picking up fast food, no extra expense from ordering carryout, and no stress trying to figure out what to serve!

That’s why I made it my mission to come up with 5 FAST, healthy freezer meals and share them on here with you. My goal was to select a variety of options (chicken, beef, pork, seafood, and vegetarian) that could all be prepared in less than 1 hour. I’m happy to report that I managed to make ALL of these dinners AND take all of the photos in about 45 minutes! That’s BY FAR the fastest freezer meal prep I’ve ever done, and I’m so excited to share the delicious recipes with you today. If you’re not trying to take a bunch of photos of your food for the blog, you can probably get all of these dinners made in about 30 minutes. I promise, it’s not too good to be true!

I have taken it one step further to make this process as easy as possible for YOU. I put together a printable booklet that includes all 5 recipes, plus a consolidated shopping list. Take the list with you to the grocery store, and then use the printed recipes as you prepare your meals. Freezing/thawing instructions, serving suggestions, and nutritional information included! You can download the free printable guide below:

Here’s the deal: even if you’re not someone who wants to do meal prep on the weekend or spend an hour putting together 5 healthy freezer meals at one time, I strongly urge you to still download the booklet of recipes with the shopping list. Give the grocery list to your spouse and ask HIM to do the shopping (or even order your groceries online)! You will have a fully-stocked kitchen with all of the ingredients that you need to get 5 healthy, homemade dinners on the table that week. You don’t have to make all of the meals at once — just spend 5 MINUTES each evening throwing together supper and you’ll have a very happy family! We all love 5-MINUTE DINNERS, right!?

Vegetarian Enchiladas

Course Dinner

Cuisine Mexican

Cook Time 15 minutes

Total Time 15 minutes

Servings 4 enchiladas

Calories 379.7 kcal

Author The Seasoned Mom

Ingredients

• 4 whole wheat tortillas
• 1 cup enchilada sauce
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 15 ounce can kidney beans, drained and rinsed (can substitute with black beans or pinto beans, if preferred)
• ½ cup canned or frozen corn drained
• ¼ cup chopped onion
• 1 cup chopped cooked broccoli (I used a microwave pouch that I steamed according to package instructions and then allowed to cool to room temp)
• 1/3 cup salsa

Instructions

1. Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. Spread ½ of the enchilada sauce in the bottom of the dish.
2. In a small bowl, combine beans, corn, onion, broccoli, ½ cup of the cheese, and salsa.
3. Top each tortilla with about ¼ of the bean mixture. Roll up and place seam-side down in the baking dish. Pour the rest of the enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with remaining ½ cup of cheese.
4. Cover tightly with foil and freeze for up to 3 months.
5. To cook: Thaw enchiladas in the refrigerator overnight. Allow dish to sit on the counter at room temp for about 30 minutes before baking.
6. Bake in a 400-degree oven for about 15 minutes, or until heated through.
7. If the enchiladas are still partially frozen, you might need to increase the baking time. You can keep the dish covered with foil to prevent the cheese from getting too crispy on top while they cook for a longer amount of time.
