- 6 large eggs
- Kosher salt to taste
- Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 yellow onion finely diced
- 1 cup cremini mushrooms quartered
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika optional, for a smoky twist
- Grilled steak cubed
- 2 slices pepper jack cheese sliced
- 4 soft flour tortillas warmed
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro optional, for freshness
- 1 batch homemade steak sauce
Step 1: Whisk the Eggs
In a large bowl, crack your eggs. Whisk them vigorously, adding a pinch of kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper. This is your base, so don’t skimp on the flavor.
Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely diced onion and sauté until translucent. It takes about 3-4 minutes. Then toss in the quartered cremini mushrooms, cooking until they’re tender and golden brown, around 5-6 minutes. If you fancy a smoky flavor, sprinkle in the smoked paprika during the last minute.
Step 3: Scramble the Eggs
Once the onions and mushrooms are ready, lower the heat and add the whisked eggs to the skillet. Stir gently to scramble, cooking until just set but still creamy. Remember, overcooked eggs are not your friend.
Step 6: Assemble the Burrito
Warm your flour tortillas so they’re pliable. In the center of each tortilla, spoon a generous amount of the steak and egg mixture. If you like, sprinkle some chopped cilantro on top before folding the sides and rolling it up.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh eggs make a difference in taste. Opt for organic if possible.
- Don’t Rush the Cooking: Allow enough time for each ingredient to cook properly to develop full flavors.
- Customize Your Cheese: If pepper jack isn’t your thing, use cheddar or Monterey Jack instead.
- Mix Up the Proteins: Substitute the steak for leftover grilled chicken or bacon for a different twist.
- Store Leftovers Properly: Wrap any remaining burritos tightly in foil or plastic wrap to keep them fresh.
