We just launched a new cooking community! To learn more or sign up, click here ➡
One of the most annoying and frustrating problems as a home cook, is looking into the fridge on a weeknight and realizing either, the protein you got earlier this week is past the freeze-by date, you have no protein in the first place, or the pack of chicken you threw into the freezer is hours away from being thawed
So in today’s video, I’m going to show you 3 different methods & subsequent recipes for freezing proteins that can be taken straight from your freezer and onto the stove to create meals in 15 minutes or less.

Massive Tortillas Recipe:
INGREDIENTS
- 6 Large Tortillas (see above recipe)
- 700 g of cooked chicken breast (roughly 3 breasts), cubed
- 8 oz (226 g) part skim shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 wedges of Laughing Cow Cream Cheese (Original)
- 1 lime or 1 Tbsp lime juice concentrate
- 1 can tri-blend beans or beans of choice
- 1 can tomato sauce
- 1 bell pepper (yellow)
- 1 Jalapeño
- Cilantro (optional)
~ SPICES ~
- 1/2 tsp (2 g) paprika, smoked preferably
- 1 Tbsp (8 g) Ancho chili powder
- 1/2 Tbsp (4 g) chili powder
- 1/2 tsp (2 g) coriander
- 1/2 Tbsp (4 g) cumin
- 2 tsp (7 g) onion powder
- 1 tsp (3.5 g) garlic powder
- 1 1/2 tsp (12 g) salt (to taste after)
- 1 tsp (2 g) black pepper
(Note that not all these spices are necessary. You can get away without adding ancho chili powder or coriander.)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Dice peppers
- Cook peppers and beans in a bit of water to soften
- Mix in tomato sauce and spices
- Add in prepped chicken and both cheeses
- Add lime juice if desired
- Cool mixture in fridge for 20 minutes, uncovered
- Evenly disperse mixture across six large tortillas and fold

ROUGH NUTRITION (Adjusted)
Cal: 693
P: 55g, C: 79g, F: 17g
NOTE ON HEATING FROM FROZEN
These are THICC, so you can either defrost them in the fridge overnight or in the microwave before microwaving them for 1 minute per side. These methods will yield the most consistently warmed burritos.
If in a rush, just nuke the burrito on high, two minutes per side, making sure to cut the burrito in half halfway through heating to ensure the center of the burrito isn’t still ice!
