Description

Mexican-inspired breakfast burritos pack a flavorful punch with tender steak, fluffy scrambled eggs, and melted cheese wrapped in a warm tortilla. Hearty ingredients and bold seasonings create a satisfying morning meal that will energize you for the day ahead.


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

  1. Gently melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, creating a golden base for the steak cooking process.
  2. 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.
  3. Transfer the perfectly cooked steak to a cutting board and let it rest, allowing the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
  4. In the same skillet, crack eggs directly into the pan, gently stirring and folding to create soft, fluffy scrambled eggs with a delicate texture.
  5. Slice the rested steak into thin, tender strips that will easily blend with the scrambled eggs.
  6. Warm tortillas on a flat surface or briefly in the microwave to enhance their pliability and prevent cracking during rolling.
  7. Layer the tortillas with a generous portion of sliced steak, creating a protein-rich foundation for the burrito.
  8. Spoon the creamy scrambled eggs over the steak, ensuring an even distribution of flavors.
  9. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese across the eggs, allowing it to slightly melt from the residual heat.
  10. Carefully roll the tortillas into compact, tight burritos, tucking in the sides to prevent filling from escaping.
  11. Return the skillet to medium heat and add a touch of butter, creating a crisp, golden exterior for the burritos.
  12. Gently place the rolled burritos seam-side down, cooking until they develop a beautiful, crunchy golden-brown crust.
  13. Transfer the burritos to serving plates and accompany with classic toppings like tangy sour cream and zesty salsa.
