Instructions

- Burrito Assembly: Layer tortillas with sliced steak, establishing a robust protein foundation for the burrito.
- Egg Integration: Distribute scrambled eggs evenly across the steak, ensuring balanced flavor profile.
- Cheese Enhancement: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the eggs, allowing gentle melting from residual heat.

- Final Cooking: Position burritos seam-side down, cooking until achieving a beautiful golden-brown crust.
- Serving Presentation: Transfer burritos to plates and accompany with classic garnishes like sour cream and salsa.
