Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 2.5 pounds (1.13 kg) boneless New York strip steak, cut into bite-size chunks
- 12 large eggs, scrambled
Cheese:
- 2 cups (473 ml) pepper jack cheese, shredded
- 2 cups (473 ml) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
Seasonings and Other Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) butter
- 2 teaspoons garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon Slap Ya Mama seasoning
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 flour tortillas, burrito size (10-inch)
- Additional butter for eggs and frying burritos
Instructions
- Gently melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, creating a golden base for the steak cooking process.
- Carefully place seasoned steak into the skillet, allowing it to sizzle and develop a rich, caramelized exterior while cooking to your preferred level of doneness.
- Transfer the perfectly cooked steak to a cutting board and let it rest, allowing the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- In the same skillet, crack eggs directly into the pan, gently stirring and folding to create soft, fluffy scrambled eggs with a delicate texture.
- Slice the rested steak into thin, tender strips that will easily blend with the scrambled eggs.
- Warm tortillas on a flat surface or briefly in the microwave to enhance their pliability and prevent cracking during rolling.
- Layer the tortillas with a generous portion of sliced steak, creating a protein-rich foundation for the burrito.
- Spoon the creamy scrambled eggs over the steak, ensuring an even distribution of flavors.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese across the eggs, allowing it to slightly melt from the residual heat.
- Carefully roll the tortillas into compact, tight burritos, tucking in the sides to prevent filling from escaping.
- Return the skillet to medium heat and add a touch of butter, creating a crisp, golden exterior for the burritos.
- Gently place the rolled burritos seam-side down, cooking until they develop a beautiful, crunchy golden-brown crust.
- Transfer the burritos to serving plates and accompany with classic toppings like tangy sour cream and zesty salsa.
Notes

- Melted cheese cascades inside, binding tender steak strips and fluffy scrambled eggs into a harmonious breakfast masterpiece.
