Ingredients
- 1 cup diced bell peppers
- 1 cup diced onions
- 2 cups diced yellow potatoes
- 1 lb lean ground meat (turkey, chicken, or beef)
- 6 large eggs
- 4 large egg whites
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 10 large burrito-sized tortillas
- Your favorite sauce (e.g., salsa, hot sauce) as needed
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Spread the diced bell peppers, onions, and yellow potatoes on a large sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
- Add the lean ground meat on top of the roasted vegetables, seasoning with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Roast for another 10-15 minutes until the meat is cooked through.
- In a blender, combine the eggs, egg whites, and cottage cheese, and blend until smooth.
- Pour the egg mixture over the cooked vegetables and meat on the sheet pan. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top and bake for 12-15 minutes until set.
- Let it cool slightly, then slice into 10 equal portions.
- Place each portion on a tortilla, add your favorite sauce, sprinkle with chopped cilantro, and roll tightly to form a burrito.
- Wrap each burrito in parchment paper or foil and freeze for up to 3 months.
- To reheat, microwave a frozen burrito for 3-4 minutes until heated through.
