Steak & Egg Burritos

My Dad is a great cook, but one thing stands out from the rest...his breakfasts.  When was a kid he would make great big breakfasts on the weekends.  Everything was game, from a thousand ways to prepare eggs, to French toast, to waffles, to pancakes, to burritos, to Dutch Apple Pancakes (a different show).  He was great at teaching and giving tips on how to improve all the time.  One thing I picked up right away was coming up with ways to empty the leftovers which also makes room for the big grocery trip that weekend. 

We recently found ourselves on a Saturday ready for breakfast but at first glance it appeared as though we didn't have any ingredients for a breakfast recipe.  Then I spotted leftover grilled steak and saw that we had both eggs and tortillas - breakfast burritos was the winner!  And really pretty much everything in this recipe was a leftover in our fridge so I am sure there could be many variations depending upon what leftovers you have on hand. 

I believe a way to a woman's heart is through her stomach, because in her eyes nothing is sexier than a man that can cook.  Well ok, cooking together is pretty good too.  This recipe is set for 4 burritos but can easily be altered to make as many as you want.

Steak & Egg Breakfast Burritos

4 Large Eggs, room temperature and beaten
1/2 Red Pepper
1/2 Green Pepper
1/2 Small Onion
6 oz Cooked Steak, cut into bite sized pieces
4 Flour Medium Tortillas
1/2 can Diced Tomatoes
Cheddar Cheese, shredded

Directions:

Preheat oven to 200 degrees.

Dice the peppers and onion, sauteing them stirring ever minute or so until they begin to soften but will still have a little crunch to them.  Set the peppars and onions aside in a bowl. 

Add the steak to the pan, let that cook for 2-3 min or until the steak is tender.

In a bowl, beat the eggs together. In another skillet add 1 Tsp butter and melt it, add the beaten eggs stirring frequently.  Don't over cook them! Now add the steak in with the eggs, stirring and cook long enough just to finish the eggs. Season with crushed black pepper

Place the tortillas in the oven to warm them. 

Add the peppers and onions back to their pan at a medium heat.  Stir in the tomatoes to the pepper mixture and let them heat up, then kill the heat. 

Sprinkle a little of the cheddar cheese on each tortilla then add the eggs and steak mixture evenly, and finish by adding on top the pepper and tomato mixture.  Top her coffee off and enjoy.
