For Meal Prep

Freezing Instructions

Let the beef mixture cool completely before freezing. Store in freezer-safe containers or wrap portions tightly in foil. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat in a pan or microwave until hot.

Wrap Version (Perfect for Bulk Meal Prep)

1. Add one portion of the beef mixture to a tortilla.
2. Add any extra veggies or a cheese slice if desired.
3. Fold and roll the tortilla, then sear in a hot frying pan to seal it — or use a panini press for extra crispiness.
4. Wrap in foil and freeze for easy grab-and-reheat meals.
