Ingredients

8 servings
  • 2 lbs 96/4 Ground Beef

    Extra-lean ground beef (96% lean / 4% fat). Walmart carries Great Value 96/4.

  • 8 Egg, Whole, Large(400g)
  • 0.6 lbs Bacon
  • 5.4 oz Cheddar Cheese
  • 8 Fat-Free Cheddar Cheese(224g)
  • 8 Honey(240g)
  • 8 Carb Balance Tortillas(0g)

    Mission Carb Balance tortillas. Found in the bread/tortilla aisle.

Instructions

  1. 1Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crispy and browned. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, let cool slightly, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
  2. 2Add the ground beef to the same skillet over medium-high heat and cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon, until no longer pink and internal temperature reaches 160°F. Drain excess fat, then transfer to a bowl.
  3. 3Crack the eggs into a separate bowl and whisk together. Pour into the skillet over medium heat and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the eggs are set but still slightly moist. Remove from heat.
  4. 4Warm each tortilla directly over a medium flame for 15–20 seconds per side (or wrap all 8 in a damp paper towel and microwave for 60 seconds) until pliable.
  5. 5Lay out all 8 tortillas on a clean work surface. Divide the cooked beef evenly down the center of each, then top each with an equal portion of the scrambled eggs, chopped bacon, and shredded sharp cheddar (about 0.7 oz per burrito).
  6. 6Drizzle each burrito with honey, then fold in the sides and roll tightly from bottom to top.
  7. 7Divide the burritos evenly into 2 airtight containers while still warm. Refrigerate for up to 4 days, or wrap individually in foil and freeze for up to 3 months.
  8. 8To reheat: microwave a refrigerated burrito for 60–90 seconds on 50% power, or unwrap a frozen one and heat on 50% power for 2–3 minutes until warmed through.
