  • This freezer-friendly breakfast burrito changed my life. Here's how you can make it, too....
    ⚪FULL RECIPE⚪
    ~ INGREDIENTS ~
    - 6 Ultimate Tortillas ( • They Don’t Rip - What ... )
    - 1 lbs of 93/7% ground turkey
    - 18 large grade A eggs, whisked
    - 1 lbs (453g) whipped lowfat cottage cheese
    - ½ bunch of kale (roughly 2 cups), chopped
    +spices+
    - 1 Tbsp (8 g) chili powder
    - 1/2 tsp (2 g) paprika, smoked preferably
    - 1 tsp (3 g) onion powder
    - 1 tsp (3.5 g) garlic powder
    - 1/2 Tbsp (4 g) cumin
    - pinch (¼ tsp) oregano
    - 1 tsp (2 g) black pepper
    - 1 tsp (9g) salt (or to taste)
    ~ INSTRUCTIONS ~
    - Brown and cook meat in pan with spices on medium-high heat
    - Add the cottage cheese and mix well
    - Add in the kale or other veg and cook down until starting to thicken
    - Put meat in a bowl or on a plate to cool and thicken
    - Lightly scramble eggs over medium-high heat until cooked and creamy
    - Put into container to cool
    - Portion out fillings into 6 Ultimate Tortillas and wrap
    - Place burritos into a baking dish or onto a tray to let freeze overnight
    - Put burritos into freezer-safe containers or ziplock bags and keep in freezer for up to three months
    ~ WARMING BURRITOS~
    The best way to eat a breakfast burrito is to plan ahead the night before. Put one in the fridge before bed so that it has the chance to dethaw before you microwave it in the morning. Then Microwave for 2 minutes and let cool for 1-2 minutes before eating. Otherwise, place straight in microwave for 2 minutes, cut in half, and microwave for another 2 minutes.

    I'm a university student that lives on his own and just lost 5 lbs in the past month because of midterms whilst already being a fairly slim person at 5'10 and 130 lbs usually. Did not expect a video as random as this to rejuvenate me, but I'm super excited now and am going to try and make these for my lunch. Most of the cooking videos I watch end up using way more than they suggested (cough cough Joshua Weissman) and become really elaborate in ways that would maybe be quick for the person making the video but take a lot longer for noobs like me. In sum, thank you for this idea and making sense can't wait to fix my diet with this!

      A few important suggestions as someone who was the same weight; Firstly, consider smoothies. You probably think you're eating a lot of food, if you were anything like me. You almost certainly aren't. Really high calorie smoothies with things like avocados, frozen berries, oats, milk, whole milk greek yogurt, almost single-handedly managed to add 5 or 10 lbs to me. The other thing I'd suggest is just start lifting weights, if you haven't already. It makes your body feel so much better, builds your appetite, and helps add mass.

    Pro tip: Add the salt to that big batch of eggs BEFORE you cook them. Whisking those raw eggs in that bowl and letting them sit in the salt will do some magic stuff with the protein structure and improve the texture of your eggs and retains more moisture so they don't come out super dry. Note that I said they retain moisture, not watery or runny. So just cook them like normal and they'll have a much better texture while not being wet and wattery.

      People seem to still be held up on salt. The amount of salt you're adding to your home cooked food is wildly less than the SODIUM added to prepackaged foods. Unless you're already at risk of or have high blood pressure, cooking with a good amount (the correct amount) of salt is probably not going to cause you any issues.

    KALE TIP from a different recipe. Take the leaves off the stems and massage the Kale until it softens and darkens. This helps remove some bitterness and makes the Kale less fibrous.

As my first meal of the day, I want to set my body up for success so I look for high protein/low carb options to break my "fast" with.
    I'm extremely excited about the cottage cheese aspect and how it transformed the meaty part of the dish. I have always hated cottage cheese, but recently, I have learned cottage cheese can do wonderous things! Something I make all the time now is cottage cheese pancakes and I love it.

    Listen. You should brown the meat first, let it release its water, then when it’s done browning, add the spices at the end. Otherwise your spices are actually burning. These spices don’t really needs to be cooked so it’s better to add them at the end when the meat is done browning. I think this could also use some browned onions. First brown some onions in the pan, then add the meat. This is how we cook a lot of Mughal dishes here in india ❤️
