Our variation on the traditional Mexican beef burrito is filled with lean minced beef, kidney beans and red peppers, all in a spicy tomato and garlic sauce and covered in a gooey, cheesy topping.
We've used thin, spring onion omelettes instead of tortilla wraps for this recipe which not only helps to keep the calories lower, but means that our Beef and Bean Burrito Bake is suitable for gluten free diets as well! A cheesy topping made with 0% fat Greek yoghurt and low fat Cheddar cheese keeps this dish slimming friendly without compromising on flavour.
This Beef and Bean Burrito Bake has a nice, warming heat to it, but if you prefer your food spicier then you can in an extra, chopped fresh chilli to your beef mix – leave the seeds in for maximum heat! Similarly, if you're really not a fan of spicy food then you could also leave the jalapeños off the top of your burritos. We think they add a really nice element to this dish, but it'd still be delicious without them!
What diets is this Beef and Bean Burrito Bake suitable for?
This Beef and Bean Burrito Bake is suitable for gluten free diets.
It can also be made suitable for vegetarian diets as long as you swap the following ingredients out for vegetarian alternatives:
- 5% beef mince

Step 1
In a bowl beat 6 eggs with a fork, then add the spring onions.
Step 2
Spray a frying pan with low calorie cooking spray and place on a medium heat.
Step 3
Pour 1/4 of the egg mix into the pan and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan, cook for about 1 minute until the egg has set, then carefully flip over and cook for a further 1 minute.
Step 4
Place the cooked omelette onto some greaseproof paper and then repeat until you have 4 omelettes in total. Place a sheet of greaseproof paper between each omelette to stop them from sticking together. Save until later.
Step 5
Preheat the oven to 200°C.
