There’s just something about wrapping up all your favorite ingredients in a warm tortilla that feels so satisfying—especially when it’s homemade. And if you’ve never had a short rib breakfast burrito, get ready to meet your new obsession.

Ingredients

  • Braised short rib shredded (I used leftovers. I have short rib recipes on my blog)
  • 2 –3 eggs
  • A handful of fresh spinach
  • 1/2 avocado sliced or mashed
  • Shredded cheese cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend
  • 1 burrito-sized tortilla
  • Olive oil or butter for crisping

Instructions

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add your cooked short rib and let it warm through.
  • Crack in the eggs directly into the pan with the short rib and toss in a handful of spinach. Scramble everything together until the eggs are just set and spinach is wilted.
  • On a large tortilla, layer your short rib + egg mixture, add fresh avocado and a generous handful of shredded cheese.
  • Roll it up tightly into a burrito.
  • Wipe the skillet clean if needed, then add a bit of olive oil or butter. Place the burrito seam-side down and cook over medium heat until both sides are crispy and golden brown.
