Meal prep is crucial for some people in reaching their goals! But, most people don’t want to spend hours doing this on their days off, so here is an easy meal prep of delicious taco beef and buffalo chicken!
When prepping both of these things, I can say it only took me about an hour for both and then I was set to get creative throughout the week! They were so easy I can include them both in this blog!
What do you need to make these?
Taco Beef:
- 1 lb ground beef, I used Butcherbox
- Salsa, I used salsa verde
- Cumin, paprika, garlic powder, chili powder
Stove Top Buffalo Chicken
- Chicken tenderloins (410 gram), I used Butcherbox
- Whipped Cream Cheese
- Ranch Seasoning
- Franks Red Hot Sauce
How do you make them?
Taco Beef:
Start by spraying a warmed large pan with cooking spray, add your beef, break up into small crumbles and cook until fully browned and cooked! Add in spices and salsa, stir and THAT’s IT!
Stove Top Buffalo Chicken:
Start by spraying a warmed large cooking pan with cooking spray, add your chicken tenders, cook until fully cooked and browned on both sides.
Remove the chicken, shred with a fork and then return to the cooking pan, add cream cheese, ranch seasoning, and hot sauce, and that is all!!
