Customize these meal prep burritos with your favorite protein and veggies. You can easily make these burritos ahead of time and store them in the fridge or freezer to eat throughout the week.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook protein of your choice in a pan over medium heat until cooked through, about 5 minutes. If using meat, be sure to drain most of the grease off the pan. Set protein aside in a bowl.
To the same pan, add over veggies and saute for 2-3 minutes.
Pour over whisked eggs and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Scramble eggs with a spatula until they are cooked through.
Assembly Instructions:
To make tortillas more pliable and less likely to break when rolling, microwave for 15-30 seconds before adding egg mixture.
Divide egg mixture evenly among your 8 tortillas. Evenly distribute cooked protein and cheese (about 2 tablespoons per tortilla) on top.
Roll into a burrito and wrap in foil until ready to eat. (Watch the video below to see how to fold burritos.)
Store burritos in the fridge for up to 1 week or freezer for up to 3 months. If freezing, be sure to thaw burritos in the fridge the day before cooking.
Heating Burrito Instructions:
Skillet (recommended): Remove burrito from foil. Heat skillet to medium high heat and spray with cooking spray. Add over burrito (seam side down) and pan fry for 2-3 minutes each side.
Air Fryer (recommended): Remove burrito from foil and lightly spray both sides with cooking spray. Add burrito to air fryer basket (seam side down) and cook at 350ºF for 5-7 mins until crispy.
Panini Press (recommended): Remove burrito from foil and lightly spray both sides with cooking spray. Add burrito to a preheated panini press and grill for 3-4 minutes until crispy and warmed through.
Microwave: Remove foil from burrito and cover in a damp paper towel. Microwave for 1-2 minutes to reheat.
Oven or Toaster Oven: Leave burrito in foil and heat in oven at 350ºF for 10-15 minutes until heated through.

Notes
Protein: If using canned black beans, you can skip step 1 since they don’t need to be cooked. Veggies: If you want you add regular potatoes or sweet potatoes into the veggies portion, ensure they are cubed and pre-cooked. We are only sauteing the veggies for a few minutes so it wouldn’t cook the potatoes all the way through. Eggs: If you want creamier scrambled eggs, stir ¼ milk into the mixture when whisking. If you follow a vegan diet or don’t eat eggs, you can also use a plant-based option like JUST egg!
