Postpartum Nutrition: Slow-Braised Beef Breakfast Burritos
Ingredients
- 1 tbs. ground cumin
- 1 tbs. smoked paprika
- 1 tbs. dried oregano
- 1 tsp. ground coriander
- ½ tsp. ground allspice
- ¼ tsp. ground anise seed
- Chili powder to taste
- 3 lb. grassfed beef chuck roast
- 2 tbs. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- ½ yellow onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 ½ cups beef stock or bone broth
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 dozen organic eggs
- 1 bell pepper, minced
- 1 cup minced fresh cilantro
- ½ cup shredded pepper jack cheese
- 10 large flour or grain-free tortillas
Directions
Pregnancy prep: Make these burritos ahead of time and allow the ingredients to cool completely. Wrap the burritos individually in aluminum foil, and freeze.
Essential elements:
- Beef is a rich source of iron and zinc — and beef from grassfed cattle contains more omega-3 fats than beef from grainfed cattle.
- Eggs are one of the best food sources of choline, a micronutrient essential for brain development. Organic eggs contain higher levels of nutrients overall, especially of omega-3 fats.
