Instructions
 

Prepare Potatoes:

  • Preheat your oven or air fryer.
  • Toss diced potatoes with olive oil, salt, Italian herbs seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, and smoked paprika.
  • Spread evenly on a baking tray or in the air fryer basket. Cook until golden and crispy (approximately 20-25 minutes).

Cook Beef:

  • In a large skillet, cook the diced onion over medium heat until translucent.
  • Add the extra lean beef mince, Worcestershire sauce, and the same seasonings used for the potatoes.
  • Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.

Prepare Eggs:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, optional egg whites, and optional blended cottage cheese.
  • Pour the egg mixture into a hot, lightly oiled skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until eggs are scrambled and cooked through.

Assemble Burritos:

  • Warm the tortillas on a pan over low heat for 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable.
  • Spread 2 tablespoons of sriracha mayonnaise across each tortilla.
  • Layer the cooked potatoes, beef mixture, scrambled eggs, and any additional fillings of your choice.
  • Roll up each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you go to secure the filling.

Store and Reheat:

  • Wrap each burrito in foil or plastic wrap and freeze.
  • To reheat: unwrap the burrito, wrap it in a slightly damp paper towel, and microwave for around 2 minutes. Then, air fry at 190°C (375°F) for 5-8 minutes until heated through and crispy.

Notes

  • Tip: Add egg whites and blended cottage cheese to the eggs for an even higher protein content and fluffier texture.
  • For extra flavor, try adding a splash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of cheese before rolling the burritos.
  • These burritos can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months; just follow the reheating instructions for the perfect texture every time.
  • Substitute Carisma potatoes with russet, sweet potatoes, or any variety you prefer for a different flavor and texture.
