Breakfast & Brunch High Protein Meal prep Recipes

I made 10 healthy breakfast burritos from one tray

I love burritos cause there’s so many flavors all coming together! But this is also why I never make them – there’s so many ingredients and pots, and it takes a lot of time.

But then I discovered this ONE TRAY METHOD, which changed everything cause I can just cook everything on this one tray and make 10 healthy burritos to keep in my freezer.

And I actually love the reheated version even more – it’s so crispy! It makes amazing meal prep, and a great high protein breakfast for busy mornings!

How do I do it on one tray? I do it with simple layers:

  • I always start with the vegetables – that’s layer one
  • Then get the meat on for layer 2
  • And layer 3 and 4 are just eggs and cheese. That’s it

Hope you enjoy the easy recipe below!

Layer 1: bake at 425F / 218 C for 30 min

Chop and add to baking tray:

  • 1 Red bell pepper
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • 1 purple onion 
  • 300g Potatoes 
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • Salt and pepper

Layer 2: Bake at 380F / 190C for 15 min

16 oz lean ground beef, broken up and tossed with seasoning:

  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp chili flakes
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp basil
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika 

Layer 3: Bake at 350F / 176C for 15-20 min

Mix and pour on top:

  • 10 egg whites
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1 tsp corn starch (mixed with 2 tbsp water first)

Layer 4: Add last 5 minutes (when egg layer has 5 min left in oven)

  • Top with 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese

Heating a stack of tortillas

  • Stack 10 burrito sized tortillas together and wrap tightly in foil
  • Bake at 350F / 176 C for 15-20 min (add in with layer 3)

Optional sauce ingredients:

  • 5 tbsp light mayonnaise
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (chopped) + 1 tsp sauce
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • Smoked paprika
  • Cumin 
  • Salt and pepper

How to put the final burritos together:

  • Let baked burrito filling set for 10 min before slicing
  • Add baked burrito filling to tortilla with chopped cilantro / baby spinach and sauce

Calories: Roughly 400 cal per burrito

Protein: About 25g per burrito

Ingredient subs:

  • It’s easy to replace wheat tortillas with gluten-free tortillas
  • It’s easy to replace the cheese with dairy-free cheese

How to reheat:

You can reheat your burrito any way to like (even from freezer straight to microwave!)

But for the best texture with a crispy tortilla shell, here’s what I like to do:

  • Defrost in the fridge overnight
  • Air fry at 360 for 15-20 minutes (I just use the air fry setting on my toaster oven, and keep an eye on it so the tortilla doesn’t burn)

Great recipe! Just wanted to ask how many calories will it be without the potatoes as i’m avoiding starch. Thanks in advance!
