These Homemade Breakfast Burritos are PERFECT for Weight Loss!
These homemade breakfast burritos are perfect to make ahead for meal prep! It may be surprising, but several years ago, I was close to 500 pounds! Crazy right? I had a hard time losing weight and finding recipes to help my goals.
One of the hardest realizations for weight loss is that temptation gets the best of us. I believe in moderation, but I also believe you can enjoy your favorite foods without compromising taste. This is one of those recipes that not only helped me to lose weight but it didn’t compromise on taste.
I make these ahead of time to fuel my post workout routine. I substitute some ingredients to make these burritos healthier. Instead of using sour cream, I use non-fat Greek Yogurt to increase the amount protein in this dish. Adding it to your eggs helps with the flavor and makes for a fluffier texture. You can also store these homemade breakfast burritos in the fridge for up to five days or in the freezer for up to three months!
- High Protein- Each burrito is around 400 calories and 60g of protein.
- You can freeze these– Store these in the freezer up to a month.
This breakfast burrito will keep you energized all morning long! Customize it your way and try homemade breakfast burritos for yourself!
- Use a high protein non-fat Greek yogurt. I recommend Fage Total 0% as it has 16g protein per serving! Here’s a link for reference below:

Note
- This recipe will call for more short rib/oxtail than the actual dough. I usually use the leftovers for tacos, burritos, or right over rice!
- If you cannot find scotch bonnet peppers, use habanero peppers as a substitute.
- After cooking, wait for at least 5 minutes as the filling will be piping hot!
