~ 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.

He measures spices by heart, he’s cooking

Initially I thought adding cottage cheese to the meat was really weird but after trying it today this is hands down my favorite burrito recipe. Definitely gonna be making my taco/burrito/nacho meat this way from now on

“You’re gonna add half a tablespoon of cumin”

*dumps the whole bottle in*

[todaywithtahzae]

its so nice to see a single person doing freezer meal preps

[Psychlohexane]

I've made these twice and they are excellent. I love them!

2nd time I chopped up half an onion and cooked it with the Kale separately to get a good Sautee on the onions.

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.

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!

For anyone else who loves sour cream with their burritos, I just made these and dipping them in nonfat plain Greek yogurt is an excellent high protein substitution that tastes the same. I haven't tried putting them inside the burrito but I assume it isn't the best when you reheat them. Loved the cottage cheese method! Never seen that before

[EliFitness-pklp]

If y'all can spare a little more time, I love adding carmelized onions using America's Test Kitchen's nonstick method (uses less oil). Roasted red peppers are another excellent and healthy nutrient and flavor booster. Either way, awesome recipe!

[attackthebeat]

None of those spice measurements looked accurate

[Dayeadens]

I've watched my fair share of cooking channels. I think I can easily say: Keep this up. You've got a nice quirk to you that I think will carry you far. Good luck in your endeavors.

[icejadechica]

Absolutely horrified at the amount of salt you added, but absolutely can't wait to try these! (minus some of the salt)

[bbryno]

I already add cottage cheese to my eggs before I cook them for the extra moisture and it always SLAPS! I never thought about adding it in with the meat and seasons!! Going to definitely make these in soon!

[namu]

I've never been this motivated to start meal prepping my breakfast, thank you, you made it seem so easy! and keep going ~

[probablyhighngl]

I tried these today they were super good. I don’t know why I never tried the regular ground turkey for breakfast. The cottage cheese was perfect everything about it and you can put it in the freezer! Such a great recipe I’ll remember for the rest of my life😂

[sparklingdinosaurturtle]

I was just making this and I also sneezed while mixing the spices around

[gecko]

No one going to mention how the measurements of the seasonings are just so wrong from what he’s saying they are?

[Theffries]

J Kenji López also suggests adding a bit of a corn starch slurry to your eggs to keep them extra fluffy and moist, I’ve noticed it’s helped with my eggs to not overcook as easily

[sambrunacci]

Hey Ethan just wanted to say, I struggle a lot with ever doing meal prep, (pretty much never) which is something I've been trying to work on, as it puts a lot more load on my wife, and I've definitely never (or even considered making) made my own tortillas, but after your video got randomly suggested to me today, for some reason I just got up and did both, which made me feel amazing, as well as really blessing my wife :)
Thankyou so much!

I stumbled across your video by mistake the other day. I was actually on YouTube and I saw your video for a high-protein breakfast burrito. so I decided to take a look, and it really caught my attention. I am a 60 your old blind guy and was looking for something for a little different breakfast routine. I made this this morning. I just made it as a scramble. Damn! This was good. Your burrito will be cycling in and out of my eyes morning routine. Keep it up. Straightforward easy to follow. Even for me.
