These Cheeseburger Protein Burritos are like eating a healthier, protein packed Big Mac! Make ahead for lunch all week!
I have been on such a cottage cheese kick lately, y’all. I seriously love it and eat it plain regularly. But it’s the true hero of this burrito, creating a delicious cheese sauce that is also packed with protein. I knew I wanted to try to make this taste like a cheeseburger, but dang. I shocked myself with just how good these turned out! I made a batch of them and quickly realized I need to make a double, as my kids wiped out half of them quickly!

Brown meat in a pan with onion, spices and sauces until cooked through. Meanwhile, add cheese sauce ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Dice pickles and tomato.
