Meal prep, short for meal preparation, is an efficient way to prepare meals in advance and plan for the week.
Mexican cuisine also has some classics to offer that can be turned into a meal prep recipe.
For example, burritos are a popular dish that is characterized by its versatility and hearty taste.
Burritos typically consist of a large flour tortilla filled with a filling made from various ingredients such as meat, beans, rice, vegetables, cheese and sauces.
This delicious combination is then rolled and can either be grilled or baked for a crispy exterior.
In addition to the classic variants, creative options such as the Bavarian Wiesnhendl burrito or the fish finger burrito with red cabbage and avocado offer an interesting variety.
The burrito can also be used as a bowl.
