High-Protein Sheet Pan Egg Burritos: Postpartum Meal Prep

Between the 3 of us Beyar gals, we collectively have 4 postpartum experiences -- almost 5 soon! We cannot express how INSANELY helpful it is to have a nutrient-dense breakfast prepped for you... especially those longggg nights nursing your newborn. Instead of reaching for coffee first thing for a boost, these burritos help you instantly fuel up for the day.

Ingredients

• Bell pepper, diced
• Onion, diced
• A few handfuls of kale
• 2-3 medium sized yellow potatoes, diced
• 12-14 eggs
• Egg whites (optional)
• olive oil for cooking 
• 1 package of ground beef
• 2 cups cottage cheese
• 1 cup shredded cheese
• Salt & pepper
• tortillas (I use "maria and ricardo's" tortillas)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350F
2. Dice up all the veggies + potatoes.
3. Place them on a baking sheet. Salt and pepper everything, drizzle with olive oil, and stir to make sure everything is well coated. 
4. Put baking sheet in the oven and bake until the potatoes are soft (while it’s baking, mix it around every once in a while).
5. Meanwhile, cook the ground beef in a skillet until it’s almost all the way cooked through.
6. Place the eggs, cottage cheese, cheese, and salt and pepper in a high speed blender. Blend until smooth.
7. Once your veggies and potatoes are ready, evenly distribute the ground beef on top.
8. Pour the egg mixture over top evenly as well.
9. Bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes or until firm.  Keep checking on it frequently towards the end to make sure you don’t overcook it!
10. Once cooked, cut it evenly into long rectangles.

 Burrito time!

1. Place one tortilla at a time on a flat stove top or a skillet over low heat for 30 seconds (makes them way more malleable to use for the next step).
2. Take an egg rectangle and place it towards the edge of the tortilla. Carefully fold in the sides to make a burrito.
3. Roll each one up individually in parchment paper.
4. Place them all in a freezer safe bag. Make sure you include the date. Throw them in the freezer!
5. When you're ready to eat them, take out a couple at a time and place them in your fridge to thaw.  Throw a little olive oil on a flat skillet or pan on low heat. Cook the burritto on both sides until the inside is hot and the sides are crispy. Enjoy!
