Instructions
- Place a pan over medium-high heat and add a touch of spray oil. Add the beef mince and cook for 5-6 minutes or until no longer pink. Add all of the spices and crushed tomatoes and mix well. Cook for 2 minutes and remove from the stovetop. You can transfer to a bowl and reuse the pan for extra flavour.
- Place the same pan or a clean one over medium-high heat. Add unsalted butter and allow it to melt. Pour the whisked eggs and cook for 2-3 minutes or until soft peaks have formed. Add the grated cheese, salt, and pepper, and mix to melt. Remove from the heat.
- Warm the tortillas slightly. Arrange the beef mix and scrambled egg on top. Top with a choice of sauce and wrap tightly.
- Wrap in aluminium foil, food-safe paper, zip-lock bags, or meal prep containers. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days and in the freezer for up to 4 months.
- If you’d like to toast the burritos before or after storing them, place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and spray them with spray oil. Place them in a preheated oven at 200℃ -390℉ and bake for 15-16 minutes or until golden and hot. Alternatively, place them in an air fryer at 200℃ - 390℉ and air fry for 6-7 minutes or until golden and hot. Dig in.
