Meal Prep Enchiladas is your lazy solution to eating a delicious and veggie-packed lunch without having to put too much effort into your meal prep.
Enchiladas are my go-to for an easy and delicious meal. These Meal Prep Enchiladas were born right out of pure laziness. I didn’t feel like cooking the night before, so one morning I woke up a little earlier than usual, cooked up some onion, green peppers, and ground beef, and thought I’ll just wrap this in a tortilla put it in my meal prep container, cover in sauce and cheese and I’ll be good to go. Why should I cook this just to stick it back in the fridge? Great ideas are born out of laziness I tell you.
