🧅 Beef & Potato Goodness
It starts with a base of pan-seared potatoes, tossed in olive oil and a blend of herbs, garlic, onion powder, and smoky paprika 🌶️. Then comes the lean beef mince, cooked with Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, and sautéed onion and garlic for that rich, umami-loaded flavor.
The combo is savory, aromatic, and the kind of thing that smells so good, your neighbors might knock 👃💨.
🥚 Scrambled Eggs with a Twist
The egg filling isn’t just your basic scramble. We boost it with extra egg whites and a touch of blended cottage cheese (totally optional!) for added fluffiness and a creamy finish. These eggs hold up beautifully in the fridge or freezer, making them a star player in meal prep.
🌯 Build, Wrap, Freeze!
Heat up your tortillas before assembly to avoid breakage 🔥. Then layer:
- The beef and potato mix
- Fluffy scrambled eggs
- A drizzle of spicy sriracha mayo (store-bought or homemade)
Wrap them tight, foil or cling film each one, and stash them in your freezer 🧊. Reheating is a breeze—just microwave and crisp up in the air fryer or oven for that golden tortilla crunch ✨.
🔥 Reheat Like a Pro
- Microwave: Wrap in a damp paper towel and heat for 2 mins
- Air Fryer: 5–8 mins at 190°C (375°F) for that crispy finish
- Oven: 10–15 mins at 180°C (350°F), wrapped in foil
🥗 Pro Tips
- Use waxy potatoes for a better texture—less mush, more bite
- Lightly toast tortillas before assembling for easier wrapping
- Freeze flat in a single layer first to avoid misshapen burritos
- Want a leaner version? Skip the mayo or swap in Greek yogurt!
Make a batch this weekend, and your future self will thank you 🙌. These burritos aren't just breakfast—they're a lifestyle 💯.

Tasted amazing but I failed at rolling them, ended up with burrito filling in a Ziploc. Taste 11/10!
