Ingredients

  • 6 wheat tortillas (28cm / 11 inches)
  • 900g extra lean ground beef (5% fat)
  • 2 yellow onions (250g total)
  • 300g sieved canned tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 20-25g black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons oregano
  • 4 Laughing Cow cheese wedges
  • 120g fat-reduced shredded mozzarella
  • 5g olive oil spray
  • aluminum foil

Instructions

  1. 1Dice two yellow onions (250g total).
  2. 2Add 5g of olive oil spray to the biggest pan. Switch up the heat to medium-high.
  3. 3Add the ground beef, 10g salt, 10g pepper, and 4g garlic powder to the pan. Fry it until it’s mostly browned, 4-5 minutes.
  4. 4Add diced onions to the meat and fry for another 5-6 minutes.
  5. 5Add tomato sauce, mix well until covered, and cook for 1 minute.
  6. 6Add 4 Laughing Cow cheese wedges and mix with a spatula until incorporated, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. 7Add the mozzarella and mix until melted.
  8. 8Transfer the meat mixture to a large plate and refrigerate for 20 minutes to cool.
  9. 9Prepare six pieces of aluminum foil.
  10. 10Lay a tortilla on top of a piece of aluminum foil. Evenly spread 225g of meat mixture on the lower third of each tortilla. Leave space around the edges.
  11. 11Fold both sides into the middle. Pull the lower side up and over the meat mixture and roll tightly.
  12. 12Wrap tightly with aluminum foil.
  13. 13Place the aluminum foil wrapped burritos into a freezer zip-lock bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
  14. 14To reheat, microwave the burrito on defrost (260 watts) for 7-8 minutes, then on 620 watts for 3-4 minutes, or until heated through.

Tips

  • *It's recommended to buy a fresh package of tortillas and not open it until the very end of the process to prevent them from becoming stiff and cracking.
  • *If you use another cheese, make sure it has low moisture.
  • *Transferring the cooked meat filling to a plate and refrigerating it before rolling will help reduce sogginess in the burritos.
  • *Use a thermometer to ensure the interior of the burrito is hot before serving.
