Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Southwestern
Serves: 2 burritos
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup cooked steak, sliced
- 1/4 cup black beans, drained
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese
- 2 large tortillas
- Salsa for serving
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by slicing the cooked steak into thin strips and draining the black beans.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and warm the tortillas briefly on each side to make them pliable, then set aside.
- In the same skillet, crack the eggs and scramble them, cooking until they are softly set but not dry, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Add the sliced steak and black beans to the eggs, stirring gently to combine and heat through for about 1-2 minutes.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the egg and steak mixture, allowing it to melt slightly.
- Place a warm tortilla on a clean work surface and spoon the egg, steak, and bean mixture into the center of the tortilla.
- Fold the bottom of the tortilla up, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to create a burrito.
- Optional: Return the burrito to the skillet and toast for 1-2 minutes on each side for a crispy exterior.
- Slice the burrito in half diagonally and serve immediately with salsa on the side.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time in the morning, consider prepping your ingredients the night before. Slice the steak, drain the beans, and even scramble the eggs ahead of time for a quicker assembly in the morning.
- Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to add other ingredients like diced bell peppers, onions, or avocado to enhance the flavor and texture of your burrito.
- Perfectly Warm Tortillas: Warming the tortillas is key to making them pliable and easy to roll. You can also wrap them in foil and place them in a warm oven if you’re making multiple burritos.
- Don’t Overcook the Eggs: Scramble the eggs just until they are softly set. They will continue to cook slightly when you add the hot steak and beans, so aim for a creamy texture.
- Get Crispy: For an extra crunch, toast the assembled burrito in the skillet for a couple of minutes on each side before serving. This adds a delightful crispy exterior that contrasts beautifully with the soft filling.
- Serve with Salsa: A generous dollop of your favorite salsa on the side not only adds flavor but also a refreshing kick to complement the richness of the burrito.
