Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).
  2. Toss diced potatoes with olive oil, salt, Italian herbs, onion powder, garlic powder, chilli powder, and smoked paprika. Spread on a baking tray in a single layer.
  3. Roast for 25–35 minutes until golden and crisp, shaking halfway.
Cooking the Filling
  1. While potatoes roast, heat a large pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Sauté diced onion until translucent. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  3. Add extra-lean beef mince to the pan, browning in batches if needed. Season with a pinch of salt and stir in Worcestershire sauce and tomato paste. Simmer for 6–8 minutes until thickened and glossy.
Scrambling Eggs
  1. In a separate non-stick pan, whisk eggs (and blended cottage cheese or egg whites if using). Cook over medium-low heat, stirring gently until softly scrambled. Remove before fully set.
Assembling the Burritos
  1. Warm tortillas briefly on a dry pan or in a microwave for 10–15 seconds.
  2. Divide beef, potatoes, and eggs evenly among 10 wraps. Add a small spoonful of sriracha mayo to each.
  3. Fold ends and roll tightly.
Storage
  1. To freeze: wrap each burrito tightly in parchment and foil, label with the date, and freeze up to 3 months.
