High Protein Meal Prep ✨ BURRITO EDITION!
Pepper jack chicken burritos are a huge hit in our house - so quick and easy!
Roughly 450 calories & 50g of protein (depending on size of burritos)
Ingredients & instructions below ☺️
Ingredients:
- 2-3lbs of chicken breast (chopped/diced)
- taco seasoning
- green chilies
- Serrano peppers (if you like spicy)
- mozzarella & any other type of cheese (moz is most important)
- crispy bacon
- extra large tortillas
Directions:
- half pack of bacon in the oven at 400 for 25 min
- chicken cut to your liking, add taco seasoning (I let my chicken marinade until bacon is done)
- cook chicken in a pan at medium high heat for 5-6 min each side or until internal temp is 165 degrees
- once chicken is cooked I like to finely dice/shred mine but anything works
- assemble burritos with ingredients and lightly toast
- wrap in foil
PRO TIP ✨✨
I always add a little cheese to the end of the burritos to keep them closed and it helps so much!
Can be frozen or kept in the fridge up to a week. To warm them up we put them in the microwave for a minute or two then crisp them up in the air fryer or on a pan 😊
Let me know if you try it!! 💕

Meal prepping is a fantastic strategy for maintaining a healthy diet while saving time during the week. These Pepper Jack Chicken Burritos not only deliver on taste but are also immensely versatile and customizable. You can adapt the ingredients based on your preferences or dietary needs. If you're looking for more protein options, consider adding black beans or quinoa to the filling for added fiber and nutrients. The burritos can be prepared in bulk and stored in the fridge for up to a week, making them a perfect option for busy individuals or families. They can also be frozen for longer-term storage, allowing for quick meal options any time you need them. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave, then crisp them up in an air fryer or skillet to enjoy that original freshly made texture. Additionally, experimenting with different cheeses can lead to exciting flavor variations. Instead of mozzarella, try using pepper jack for an extra kick or a blend of cheeses to enrich the taste profile. Adding fresh toppings like avocado or salsa after heating adds more nutrient value and flavor contrast, enhancing your meal prep experience. By incorporating meal prep into your routine, you can effectively manage your caloric intake while ensuring you're consuming high-protein meals that support your fitness goals. Stick with the method that suits you best, and share your creations to inspire others in their meal prepping journey!
