Free Inquiry Post 5 – Meal Prep #5

Hi everyone! We are nearing the end of the meal prep journey for the semester! Today for dinner, I went super simple with an easy burrito meal prep! I made the meat mixture with lean ground beef, red peppers, onion, garlic, black beans, and corn. This was extremely easy, all I had to do was sauté the onion and garlic, then add the ground beef and cook it until it is done, then I added the beans, corn, and peppers. I added a bunch of taco seasoning plus some extra salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, chili powder, and cayenne. I cooked this for a bit longer to allow all the seasoning to blend with the mixture and for the peppers to soften a little bit. Then I just placed it in a big container to dish out every nigh and construct a burrito. Doing it this way ensures that everything stays separate until the day of and nothing gets soggy. I just made some simple roasted broccoli to go on the side of this dinner. It is a bit of a random mix but I wanted to make sure I had a good vegetable to go with my burrito! I would give this meal a 10/10 for efficiency because it is so simple and a 10/10 for taste because I just love burritos.

The second thing I made this week was something totally new, which was a one pot rib biryani. I wanted something different this week and felt like experimenting. It did not work out quite as well as I had hoped because I think I had too much rice for the amount of meat I had so the ratio ended up being a bit off. It was definitely harder for me than the lunch meal prep was but overall it still did not take too long. I think next time I do this, I would create some sort of sauce to go with it just because it dries out a little bit throughout the week. Overall, I would give it a 7/10 for taste because I think it needs something added to it. I would give it another 7/10 for efficiency but this is also because it was my first time attempting it. That is it for this week’s meal prep!
