Ingredients

Scale

For the Sheet Pan Egg Bake:

  • 1–2 Bell Peppers (finely chopped)
  • 1/2 Yellow Onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 Yukon Gold Potatoes (chopped)
  • 2 tbsp. Olive Oil
  • 2 tsp. Ground Cumin
  • 2 tsp. Brown Sugar
  • 1 tsp. Salt
  • 1 tsp. Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp. Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tsp. Dried Oregano
  • 1 lb. Ground Beef or Ground Breakfast Sausage
  • 6–8 Eggs
  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese

For the Sauce:

  • 1 1/2 cups Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1 tbsp. Gochujang
  • 1 tsp. Chili Crisp Oil
  • Juice of 1 Lemon
  • 6–8 Tortillas (warmed)

Instructions

  1. For the Sauce: Combine all ingredients together in a bowl. Mix until smooth. Set aside.
  2. For the Sheet Pan Egg Bake: Preheat oven to 400F. Grease a 9×13′ baking with butter (and line the bottom with parchment paper if it’s nonstick). Combine the chopped bell peppers, onion, potatoes, olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried oregano. Toss to combine, then roast for 20 minutes, until potatoes are fork tender. Use your fingers to break up the ground beef (or breakfast sausage) into small pieces in the sheet pan. Season with ground cumin and brown sugar, then toss to combine all ingredients. Bake another 10 minutes. Add the eggs and cottage cheese in a separate bowl. Whisk well. Pour over the meat and veggies mixture. Use a spatula to evenly distribute all ingredients in the sheet pan. Top with the shredded cheddar cheese. Bake until set in the center and crispy along the edges, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. To Assemble the Burritos: The amount of egg bake for each burrito will depend on the size of tortillas used. Add a generous spoonful of the sauce (or any sauce of liking) on each warmed tortilla, followed by a serving slice of the egg bake. Roll up tightly, then wrap in parchment paper and foil.
  4. To Store & Reheat: Store in the fridge up to 5 days, or in the freezer (in a freezer-safe bag) up to 2 months. Reheat from the fridge uncovered at 400F for 5-8 minutes, or covered in foil from the freezer at 350F for 15-20 minutes. Enjoy!

Notes

  • These burritos are great for meal prep and can be customized with your favorite ingredients like avocado, salsa, or additional veggies.
  • The sauce adds a delicious tangy kick to the burritos, but feel free to use your favorite hot sauce or salsa instead.
