Instructions
1. Pat the steak dry and rub with cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet and sear steak 3–5 minutes per side. Rest for 10 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
3. In the same skillet, sauté onion, bell pepper, and optional jalapeño until softened.
4. Add diced potatoes, season, and cook 15–20 minutes until tender and golden. Set aside.
5. Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. Cook slowly in buttered pan until just set.
6. Warm tortillas to make them pliable.
7. Assemble each burrito: tortilla, cheese, potato mix, scrambled eggs, steak, more cheese, cilantro.
8. Fold sides in, roll tightly, and sear seam-side down in hot skillet for 1–2 minutes per side if desired.
9. Slice burritos in half and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
To save time, prep ingredients like the potato mixture and steak the night before.
Customize with black beans, avocado slices, or hot sauce inside the burrito.
Use a grill pan for searing the steak if you want grill marks and extra flavor.
To freeze, wrap burritos in foil and store in a freezer bag. Reheat in oven or microwave.
Swap steak with bacon or sausage for variation, or use tofu scramble for a vegetarian version.
