Batch high‑protein burritos
A recent YouTube nutrition series lays out batch‑cooking high‑protein burritos that deliver 30+ g protein per serving, highlighting a Southwest Chicken Burrito with grilled chicken, quinoa, black beans, peppers and a Greek‑yogurt sauce (youtube.com). The host recommends high‑protein wraps and Greek yogurt swaps to boost macro balance and makes the case for Sunday batch prep to save weekday time ( ).
The clips come from a YouTube creator who posts a string of “meal‑prep” burrito videos under the handle hunt; the channel shows a Feb. 18, 2026 upload titled “High Protein Burrito Meal Prep (Makes 8 burritos)” with 4,537 views and a 37 g‑protein per‑burrito macro listed in the description. (youtube.com) A companion video on the same channel titled “High Protein Smoky Citrus Burrito Meal Prep” was uploaded Jan. 16, 2026 and recorded 61,032 views while explicitly packaging its recipe as an eight‑burrito batch. (youtube.com) The recipe cards in these videos list precise ingredient weights and swaps not shown in the teaser: the chicken mixtures call for 1½ lb (680 g) cooked chicken and include ½ cup (113 g) blended low‑fat cottage cheese plus measured spices such as 1 tsp smoked paprika and 1 tsp garlic powder. (youtube.com) Each of the main videos is formatted around “makes 8” as the batch yield and ties the batch size to a stated per‑serving macro in the video description, indicating the creator’s standard prep unit is an eight‑burrito batch. (youtube.com) Independent food‑storage guides widely cited for meal‑prep burritos recommend freezing tightly wrapped burritos for optimal quality and using them within about 2–3 months, reheating to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety, and reserving delicate toppers like fresh avocado or salsa to add after reheating. (discover.texasrealfood.com) Macro tallies on YouTube for packaged meal‑prep burritos vary by style: this channel lists about 37 g per serving in one savory chicken recipe, a breakfast‑style example on the platform lists about 42 g per burrito, and other creators promote high‑protein loaded variants as high as roughly 59 g per burrito, illustrating a broad 30–60 g range depending on protein additions and recipe type.
