Servings: 10
Ingredients
- 1 lb meat chicken sausage, bacon, ground beef, etc.
- 2 cups veggies tomatoes, zucchini, bell pepper, red onion, mushrooms
- Pinch salt
- 12 eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 10 burrito-sized tortillas
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Start by cooking the meal: add whatever meat you’re using to a medium skillet and cook over medium heat until cooked through; remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a bowl.
- To that same skillet, add your vegetables of choice and a pinch of salt and sauté until soft, 3-5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and cottage cheese together, along with a little salt and pepper. Pour the mixture into the skillet with the vegetables and cook until the eggs are scrambled.
- Last, assemble the burritos: lay one tortilla on a flat surface, then add ¾ cup of the egg mixture to it. Add 2 tablespoons of meat, along with 2 tablespoons of cheese on top.
- Fold in the sides, then roll the burritos. Repeat this process until all of the eggs/meat/cheese is gone.
- If you’re making these in advance, wrap each burrito with foil, then place then on a baking sheet and into the freezer so they don’t stick together. Once frozen, you can transfer them to a plastic bag or freezer-safe container. They should keep for up to 2 months!
- Alternatively, you can wrap these in foil and keep them in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- Reheat: reheat breakfast burritos either in the microwave until they’re heated through, or bake in the oven at 375°F for 15-20 minutes.
