One thing I find super helpful during the week is to meal plan so that I can have meals ready to eat for myself and my family. I found a recipe for a simple breakfast burrito that is healthy and packed with protein. Also these super simple to make. The hardest part was figuring out how to roll a burrito without it falling apart. This recipe will result in 8 burritos that you can freeze and pop in the microwave later whenever you need to.
Ingredients
(Optional)
- Bell Pepper - diced
Directions
- Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- Cook ground chicken until browned, set aside.
- Either air-fry or sautee potatoes with some oil in pan until lightly browned.
- Add onions into pan and sautee until they are soft. Optional: Add bell peppers to pan as well.
- Whisk eggs in a bowl and add to pan until they are cooked. You can slightly undercook them because this will be microwaved later.
- Add the chicken back along with cheese and mix thoroughly.
- Try to equally divide into 8 equal parts and fill each part with each tortilla. Optional: Roll the tortilla into a burrito, and cook over medium heat over a pan to brown them.

This is a super low calorie burrito with a decent amount of protein. You can have two of them at a time and you’re looking at 38 grams of protein for under 500 calories.
After these cool down, I usually wrap it in foil and throw them in the freezer. Super convenient. The potatoes will keep you filled too (fun fact: potatoes are the best food in keeping you feeling full). Feel free to modify with your own version as you see fit!
