Ingredients

  • 10 Whole Eggs
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 500 g Extra Lean Ground Beef
  • Korean Gochujang Paste 40g
  • Soy Sauce 30g & Honey (20g)
  • 200 g Plain Skyr or Greek Yogurt
  • Fresh Basil 10g & Fresh Mint (10g)
  • Lime Juice & Mustard
  • 8 Tortillas
  • 100 g Cheddar Cheese

Instructions

  • Prepare the Eggs & Sauce
  • Whisk the eggs with salt, pepper, and the cornstarch slurry. In a blender, combine the yogurt, herbs, olive oil, lime juice, and mustard. Blend for 60 seconds until smooth and vibrant green.
  • Sear the Savory Beef
  • Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Sear the ground beef without breaking it up for the first minute to get a deep brown crust. Season with garlic powder and pepper, then stir in the gochujang sauce. Cook for just 30 seconds until the meat is glazed.
  • Scramble the Soft Eggs
  • Melt butter (or use oil) in a clean pan and cook the eggs slowly over 5 to 6 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds.
  • The Cooling Secret
  • Important: Let the meat and eggs cool down before wrapping. Wrapping steaming hot food in tortillas will make them soggy.
  • Assemble and Wrap
  • Distribute the beef, eggs, and cheese evenly across the tortillas. Add a squeeze of the green sauce. Fold the sides in and roll tightly . Wrap each burrito in parchment paper for easy storage and reheating .
