Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3/4 teaspoon butter, coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large potato, cut into 1/4-inch cubes (about 3/4 pound; recommend sweet or russet)
- 1/2 large onion, diced
- 1 large bell pepper, chopped
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- 3/4 pound meat of your choice (sliced steak, ham hock, ground beef or sausage)
- 1 pinch Himalayan pink salt
- 1 pinch pepper
- 10 eggs
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, freshly grated
- 8–10 large tortillas, whole wheat/grain (corn or brown rice tortilla for gluten-free)
Vegetarian Option:
- 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed (in place of meat)
Instructions
Preparing burritos:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1/4 tsp. of the butter/oil. Add potatoes and cook for 10 minutes, stirring every minute or so. (If you’re using sweet potatoes, cook an additional 5 minutes.) Add onions, peppers, and garlic. Cook 5-8 minutes, until potatoes and veggies are desired texture. Remove from pan and set aside in a large bowl.
- Wipe pan clean, melt 1/4 tsp. butter/oil and add meat. Cook until no longer pink in the middle. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from pan and add to the large bowl with cooked veggies.
- Whisk eggs in a large bowl.
- Wipe pan clean and add remaining 1/4 tsp. butter/oil. Add eggs to the skillet. Cook on medium-low for 4-6 minutes, until eggs are completely cooked through and no longer runny. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Reduce heat to low, add cheese to eggs. Stir until cheese is melted and remove from heat.
- Add eggs to bowl with veggies and protein of choice. Mix to combine.
- Cut eight pieces of foil into 10-inch squares. Lay a tortilla on each piece of foil. On half of each tortilla evenly distribute eggs, potatoes, veggies and meat. Fold each tortilla in half quesadilla style or wrap like a burrito.
- Allow burrito to cool completely. Once cooled, wrap foil around each burrito and place them in a freezer-safe baggie. Refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
For a crispy burrito: (optional but recommended)
- If you prefer a crispy burrito shell, you can brown your burritos prior to freezing or just before serving. To brown, coat the top and bottom of the burrito with a tiny bit of EVOO. Place burrito in a skillet seam side down. Cook for about 1 minute or until lightly browned and crisp. Turn the burrito and cook for an additional minute, until golden brown.
Freezer-friendly:
- If frozen, allow burrito to thaw in the fridge overnight. Eat cold, heat burrito in the oven or unwrap from foil and warm in the microwave. Add desired toppings (we add salsa, avocado and hot sauce) and enjoy!
