High-Protein Beef Burritos

Ingredients

• 1 White onion (Chopped)
• 2 lb Lean ground beef, 96/4 (Extra-lean ground beef)
• 1 packet Taco seasoning (Use one standard packet; Taco Bell seasoning was mentioned in the transcript)
• 0.25 cup Tomato paste
• 0.25 cup Reduced-fat cream cheese
• 0.5 cup Low-sodium beef broth (Bone broth was mentioned in the transcript; use low-sodium beef broth as specified in the written recipe)
• 0.5 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt (Plain)
• 1 tbsp Light mayonnaise
• 1 tsp Lime juice (The transcript says to add a splash)
• 0.5 tsp Smoked paprika
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• Salt (A pinch, to taste)
• 0.5 tbsp Hot sauce (Mentioned in the transcript; omitted from the written ingredient list)
• Water (A small amount, as needed, to thin the sauce)
• 8 Wellness wraps (100 calories each, as stated in the transcript)

Steps

1. 1

   Finely chop the white onion. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly translucent, about 4–5 minutes.

2. 2

   Add the lean ground beef to the skillet. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until browned throughout, with no pink remaining, about 7–10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

3. 3

   Add the taco seasoning, tomato paste, reduced-fat cream cheese, and low-sodium beef broth to the skillet. Stir thoroughly until the cream cheese melts and the mixture is evenly combined.

4. 4

   Continue cooking the beef mixture for 3–5 minutes, stirring often, until it thickens and looks cohesive rather than watery. Remove from the heat and let it cool briefly so the wraps are easier to roll.

5. 5

   Make the sauce by adding the Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, lime juice, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and hot sauce to a bowl. Stir until smooth.

6. 6

   Add a small amount of water to the sauce and stir until it reaches a pourable consistency. Taste and adjust the salt or hot sauce if desired.

7. 7

   Lay out the eight wellness wraps. Divide the beef filling as evenly as possible among them, placing the filling in a line slightly below the center of each wrap.

8. 8

   Fold the bottom edge of each wrap over the filling, fold in both sides, and roll each burrito tightly away from you, keeping the filling contained.

9. 9

   Arrange the burritos in pairs or place them in meal-prep containers. Pour or drizzle the yogurt sauce over the burritos immediately before serving, or store the sauce separately to prevent the wraps from becoming soggy.

Notes

The written post states approximately 288 calories, 33 g protein, 8.25 g fat, and 31 g carbohydrates per burrito, with 27 g net fiber as written; these figures may depend on the specific wrap, beef, and seasoning brands. Refrigerate assembled burritos for up to 4 days, or store the sauce separately for best texture. The transcript mentions one-third-fat cream cheese, while the written recipe specifies one-quarter cup reduced-fat cream cheese; the written measurement was followed.
