Nothing compares to the flavor and quality of a freshly-made burrito, yet the freezer aisle offers some solid alternatives for when you can’t visit your favorite taco place. Consumers are increasingly discerning about high-quality meat products, and while sometimes a cheap and cheerful burrito is perfect, shoppers, myself included, appreciate having healthier options. Here are five frozen burritos that feature real meat instead of dubious fillings.
Red’s Organic Chicken Cilantro & Lime Burrito
Red’s Organic Chicken Cilantro & Lime Burrito is crafted with premium, free-range chicken. Each high-quality burrito offers 12g of protein. “For the ultimate experience, we recommend the air fryer, allowing you to savor a restaurant-quality meal at home or on the move,” the company suggests.
El Monterey Shredded Steak Cheese & Rice Burritos
El Monterey’s Signature Shredded Steak, Cheese & Rice Burrito includes real steak rather than ground beef and provides 12g of protein per serving. “Inspired by Grandma Rosie’s recipes, El Monterey® SIGNATURE Burritos and Chimichangas are packed with premium ingredients, like genuine shredded steak and cheese you can see,” the company mentions.
Tina’s Red Hot Beef Burrito
Tina’s Red Hot Beef Burrito has real beef as the second ingredient, and 20g of protein per serving. “Bring the heat—straight from the freezer,” the company says. “Red Hot Beef just got a freezer-friendly glow-up. This 9 oz Big Burrito is bursting with spicy beef, beans, and fire-powered flavor that’s flash frozen to lock in the love. Ready when you are, without the waste.”
Trader Joe’s Carne Asada Burritos
Trader Joe’s Carne Asada Burritos contain “chunks of grilled Angus beef combined with chopped onions and roasted poblano chiles,” the company says. Customers note that the burrito takes a lot longer to cook in the oven than the instructions recommend, so be aware of that when making this item.
Sprouts Al Pastor Pork Burrito
Sprouts Al Pastor Pork Burrito is made with real pulled pork and ideal for cooking in the air fryer. Each burrito has 11g of protein, contains real cheese, and is highly rated by Sprouts shoppers. Grab one from the frozen department today!
