Notes

Use one potato for every pound of ground beef you plan on using.

Adjust the recipe and use a sweet potato and leaner ground beef for a healthier option.

Breakfast Burritos: if you are meal prepping breakfast burritos, add egg to this recipe. Scramble 4 eggs for each pound of beef. Set aside and cook at the very end. Eggs take the least amount of time to cook.

Snack Burritos: if you are meal prepping snack burritos, saute some sliced or diced bell peppers and onion. Use 2 bell peppers and 1 onion for each pound of beef. These add texture and sweetness to this easy beef and potato burrito.
