Green Chile Queso Burritos (High Protein, Freezer Friendly)

The burrito that fixes your “I don’t have time to eat healthy” excuse

Let’s be honest…

Most people don’t struggle with fat loss or muscle gain because they don’t know what to eat.

They struggle because:

• they’re busy
• they don’t want to cook every day
• and when hunger hits… convenience wins

That’s where this recipe comes in.

These Green Chile Queso Burritos are:

• high protein
• ridiculously filling
• actually taste like real food (not diet food)
• and can be batch prepped for the entire week (or month)

You get cheesy, slightly spicy, creamy beef filling wrapped in a crispy tortilla — all while still hitting your macros.

This is the kind of meal that makes consistency easy… and consistency is what actually gets results.

Ingredients (Makes 8 Burritos)

• 32 oz 96% lean ground beef
• 400g 2% cottage cheese (pre-blended smooth)
• 120g 2% Mexican cheese
• 120g fat-free cheddar cheese
• 2 cans Hatch chopped green chiles
• 8 flour burrito tortillas
• Taco seasoning (to taste)

Instructions

1. Brown the beef
   In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until almost fully cooked.
2. Add everything else
   Lower the heat and add:
   • blended cottage cheese
   • both cheeses
   • green chiles
   • taco seasoning
   Stir until everything is melted and fully combined.
3. Adjust moisture if needed
   Depending on your cottage cheese, the mixture may be a little watery.
   → If so, let it cook down or lightly drain before assembling.
4. Warm the tortillas
   Microwave tortillas for ~20 seconds to make them easier to roll.
5. Assemble burritos
   Divide the mixture evenly across all tortillas and roll tightly. I even use a food scale to be precise (but that’s optional).
6. Wrap and store
   Wrap each burrito in foil and freeze.
   → These will last 6+ months in the freezer.

Ideal Reheating Method (This is the game changer)

1. Microwave for 2.5 minutes (flip halfway through)
2. Air fry at 390°F for 3 minutes

This gives you:

• hot, melted center
• crispy tortilla outside

Basically… meal prep that doesn’t taste like meal prep.
