Method
- 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.

Hi loved the recipe, just a quick question, since you give the option to bake in an oven before storing, and then in reheating section you also say to bake? I assume we don’t bake twice? in that case what is proper reheating procedure to follow?
Hey Gary, thank you. You can bake them in the oven prior to storing but its not recommended. Id store them fresh and then bake when reheating.
Looks amazing but how are you getting 53 grams of protein per serving from 1.6lbs lean beef and 12 whole eggs split over 6 servings ?
Hey Chris. Thank you. To acheive the protein amount, im using high protein variants of the ingredients. Especially the wraps.
