💪 50g-Protein One-Pan Breakfast Burritos (Freezer-Ready)
If your mornings are always a rush, these high-protein breakfast burritos are your new best friend 🌯. Each wrap packs about 50g of protein, thanks to the combo of fluffy cottage-cheese eggs, extra-lean beef, and smoky bacon. The best part? It all cooks on one tray, meaning minimal cleanup and maximum flavor.
Whether you’re meal-prepping for the week or fuelling up after the gym, these burritos deliver serious gains without sacrificing taste. Once baked, you can wrap, freeze, and reheat them in minutes for a perfectly satisfying start to your day. 🔥
🥔 Roast, Bake & Wrap — All on One Tray
This recipe is genius in its simplicity. You start by roasting your potatoes, bell peppers, and onions until just tender. Then comes the seasoned lean beef and bacon, creating that irresistible sizzle and aroma that fills the kitchen 😋.
Finally, pour in a blended mix of eggs, cottage cheese, and a touch of cornflour — the secret to soft, custardy eggs that don’t dry out. Sprinkle cheddar, broil for a minute, and you’ve got a golden, cheesy tray that’s easy to cut and roll into burritos.
🌯 Freezer-Friendly Fuel for the Week
Once your burritos are rolled, let them cool, wrap individually, and store in the fridge or freezer. They reheat beautifully — microwave, oven, or air fryer all work great. From frozen, just heat until the center’s piping hot and serve with a side of salsa or hot sauce for that fresh kick.
Perfect for busy mornings, gym meal prep, or even quick lunches at work — these burritos are the definition of practical, balanced eating. 🕒
🧀 Tips for Success
✨ Make it lighter: Swap half the eggs for whites and skip the nacho cheese.
🔥 Extra crunch: Grill (broil) for 1–2 minutes after adding cheddar.
🥶 Freeze smart: Wrap tightly and store up to 3 months — they reheat like a dream.
🥗 Want variety? Try turkey mince or tofu with soy sauce for a leaner, plant-based twist.

A: Wrap each burrito tightly, freeze up to 2–3 months. Reheat from chilled for 2–3 minutes in the microwave or bake at 180°C until hot.
Q: Can I make it gluten-free?
A: Yes! Use certified gluten-free tortillas or serve the baked egg and beef mix as a crustless breakfast casserole.
Q: Why add cornflour to the eggs?
A: It helps the eggs set softly without becoming watery — perfect for reheating.
Q: Can I replace beef?
A: Absolutely. Use crumbled tofu or tempeh seasoned with soy sauce, herbs, and a touch of nutritional yeast for a protein-packed vegetarian version.
🔥 Pro tip: Blend your eggs with cottage cheese until silky smooth — you’ll never go back to regular scrambled eggs again.
