I wasn’t intending on posting again so soon (especially since Ben hasn’t posted in a while…hint hint!) but I made good use of my Fathers Day leftovers and wanted to share.
I made Grilled breakfast burritos with scrambled cilantro eggs, sauted onions and garlic, leftover steak from father’s day, and smoked horseradish cheese. For the record, there was nothing experimental about this, it’s just something that I’ve wanted to make for a long time.
I have two cast iron pans, one a 12 inch and one a 15 inch. Ever since I’ve bought them I’ve wanted to try grilling burritos with them, I just haven’t gotten around to it till now. I’m going to detail it below in what I call “recipe style”. It’s not really a recipe, because that implies instructions, and I wouldn’t insult your culinary intelligence like that. I’m just recapping what I did.
Ingredients:
- Tortillas, burrito sized
- All my leftover steak (half a pound or so) thinly sliced
- Half a large red onion, thin sliced longways
- Four cloves of garlic, hand pressed and rough cut
- 5 eggs
- A half cup or so of chopped cilantro, fresh from our garden
- Shredded smoked horseradish cheese
- Dashes of salt, pepper, lime, butter, milk and canola in strategic places
- A couple of glops of salsa and sour creme
Methods:
- First sauted the steak, onion, and garlic into a hot 12 inch skillet
- Scrambled the eggs with gentle heat with a bit of milk, butter and cilantro
- Heated up my large cast iron skillet and applied thin layer of canola, and warmed (NOT cooked) the tortillas on it
- Stuffed and rolled the burritos in this order: shredded cheese, then eggs, then the saute, sprinkling of lime, dash of cilantro
- Placed the burrito in the large pan, crease down, and covered it up with the pan I used on the saute (after oiling the bottom a wiping it down) which was still hot from before
- Flip and repeat.
- Plate with salsa (fresh if you got it!) sour creme, and more cilantro
I don’t want to sound trite when I say this, but I do believe this was the best breakfast burrito I have ever eaten. WIN.
