Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup diced bell peppers
- 1 cup diced onions
- 2 cups diced yellow potatoes
- 1 lb lean ground meat (turkey, chicken, or beef)
- 6 large eggs
- 4 large egg whites
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 10 large burrito-sized tortillas
- Your favorite sauce (e.g., salsa, hot sauce) as needed

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Spread the diced bell peppers, onions, and yellow potatoes on a large sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Roast the vegetables for about 20-25 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
- Add the lean ground meat to the roasted vegetables, season with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, then roast for an additional 10-15 minutes until the meat is cooked through.
- In a blender, combine eggs, egg whites, and cottage cheese. Blend until smooth.

- Once cooled slightly, slice into 10 equal portions.
- Place each portion onto a tortilla, add sauce and cilantro, then roll tightly to form a burrito.
- Wrap each burrito in parchment paper or foil and freeze.
- To serve, microwave a frozen burrito for 3-4 minutes until heated through.
