Steak Breakfast Burrito: Your New Go-To for Busy Mornings
Ingredients
- 3 eggs – scrambled to your preference
- Leftover steak about ½ cup – thinly sliced or chopped
- 1/4 bell pepper – diced any color works
- 1/4 onion – diced
- A handful of spinach – or try kale or arugula
- Shredded cheese Monterey Jack, or pepper jack
- 1 large flour tortilla – burrito-sized
- Optional: salsa, avocado slices, or hot sauce for extra flavor
Instructions
- Sauté your veggies: In a skillet, heat a little olive oil or butter. Cook the bell pepper and onion over medium heat for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add the spinach and cook just until wilted.
- Warm the steak: Add the steak to the skillet with the veggies and heat for 1–2 minutes. Stir occasionally to keep everything evenly warmed.
- Scramble the eggs: Push the veggies and steak to one side of the pan. Crack in the eggs and scramble until just set, then combine everything together.
- Assemble your burrito: Warm your tortilla, sprinkle a generous amount of cheese down the middle, then top with the egg and steak mixture. Add salsa or avocado if using. Roll it up tightly.
- Optional: Toast it – Place the burrito seam-side down in the pan and toast for 1–2 minutes per side for a crispy finish. I always do this!
