Continue to periodically mix the meat and vegetable mixture, allowing it to sit and reduce any extra liquid. This process will thicken the mixture significantly and should take about 10 minutes. Once done, transfer the mixture to a bowl and allow it to cool and thicken further.

In the same pan, add the 400g of egg whites and 6 large eggs. Lightly scramble them, being careful not to overcook. Transfer the scrambled eggs to a bowl, add sea salt, and mix together. Let the eggs cool completely.

Once both the meat mixture and the eggs have cooled completely, it's time to build the burritos. If you assemble them before everything is cool, the tortillas may become soggy. Divide the meat mixture and eggs evenly into six portions. Add 1/6th of the meat mixture and 1/6th of the eggs to each tortilla and roll into a burrito.

Wrap each completed burrito tightly in aluminum foil and transfer them to the freezer. For long-term storage, after 24 hours, you can transfer the foil-wrapped burritos to a freezer-safe bag.

To enjoy a frozen burrito, remove it from the aluminum foil and wrap it in a paper towel. Microwave for 2 minutes and 30 seconds to thaw, flipping halfway through. Then, air fry at 360 degrees F for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through. Enjoy!
