Description

These high-protein loaded breakfast burritos are packed with seasoned extra-lean beef, fluffy scrambled eggs, and a spicy sriracha mayo, all wrapped in a low-carb tortilla. Perfect for meal prep or a satisfying breakfast, these burritos deliver 59g of protein per serving.


Ingredients

1 kg diced Carisma potatoes

1 tsp olive oil

1 tsp salt

1 tsp Italian herbs seasoning

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp chili powder

1.5 tsp smoked paprika

1 diced onion

1.5 kg extra-lean beef mince

100 ml Worcestershire sauce

80 g tomato paste (Leggo’s Garlic & Herb Tomato Paste)

4 diced garlic cloves

15 eggs (optional: add 300g of egg whites for extra protein)

100 g blended cottage cheese (optional)

10 large low-carb protein tortillas

25 g sriracha mayonnaise per burrito


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven or air fryer. Toss diced potatoes with olive oil, salt, Italian herbs seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, and smoked paprika. Spread them evenly and cook for 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy.
  2. In a large skillet, cook diced onion over medium heat until translucent. Add beef, Worcestershire sauce, and the same seasonings used for potatoes. Cook until browned, breaking up the beef as it cooks.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, egg whites (optional), and cottage cheese (optional). Scramble and cook the eggs in a lightly oiled skillet until fluffy.
  4. Warm the tortillas in a pan over low heat for 30 seconds on each side. Spread 2 tablespoons of sriracha mayonnaise across each tortilla.
  5. Layer the cooked potatoes, beef mixture, and scrambled eggs onto each tortilla. Roll tightly and fold in the sides to secure.
  6. Wrap each burrito in foil or plastic wrap and freeze. To reheat, unwrap, wrap in a damp paper towel, microwave for 2 minutes, and air fry at 190°C (375°F) for 5-8 minutes to crisp.

Notes

  • For a different protein, swap the beef with chicken, turkey, or plant-based meat.
  • Feel free to add more veggies like bell peppers, spinach, or zucchini for extra flavor.
  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free tortillas.
  • Sweet potatoes or russets can be swapped for the Carisma potatoes for variety.
  • These burritos store well in the freezer for up to 3 months and reheat easily for a quick breakfast.
