🥘 Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 6 large Eggs (room temperature, whisked, and scrambled)
• 1 lb Prime Rib (cooked use leftover prime rib, roast beef, or steak - sliced or cut into small chunks)
• 4 large Flour Tortillas (see recipe or use burrito size tortillas)
• ¼ cup Cheddar Cheese (shredded - or a combination with Monterey Jack or use Colby Jack)
• 1 large Tomato (or Pico De Gallo)
• 1 large Avocado (or Guacamole)
• 1 cup White Rice (optional - or use Cilantro Lime Rice)
• 8 oz Black Beans (optional - drained, about ½ of a 15 ounce can)

🔪 Instructions

Prepare Your Ingredients

1. Preheat your oven to 250 degrees F (121 degrees C).
2. Slice your leftover prime rib portion into thin strips or bite-sized pieces or chunks. Place 1 lb prime rib portion into a sheet of aluminum foil to make a pouch around the cut beef. For added moisture, you can drizzle a bit of beef broth over the prime rib slices before sealing the aluminum foil pouch.
3. Place your aluminum foil pouch with the prime rib in the preheated oven and warm the leftover prime rib portion for 5-10 minutes. *Depending on how warm you want the beef. If you opt to grill your burrito, the lower warming time should work nicely.
4. Scramble the 6 eggs in a large skillet or frying pan by melting 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until bubbling. Reduce heat to medium-low and add whisked eggs to the center of the skillet. Let the edges set, then pull toward the center of the pan. Repeat to cook all portions of the scrambled eggs. Remove from heat and set aside.

Assemble Burritos

1. Heat each tortilla before assembling the burritos. Microwave the tortillas for 15 seconds each or warm them for 30 seconds per side in a skillet over medium heat.4 large flour tortillas
2. Layer the fillings (prime rib, cheese, scrambled eggs, tomatoes, avocado, plus optional black beans and rice) in a line down the center of each tortilla, portioning the fillings out equally between the four tortillas.
3. Roll the burritos by folding up the opposite ends (at the ends of the filling), then tucking up the bottom around the fillings and the folded tortilla ends. Continue tucking tightly as you roll the burrito to enclose the fillings.

Grill The Burritos

1. Bring a large skillet to medium-high heat and coat lightly with cooking oil or non-stick cooking spray.
2. Place each burrito, seam side down, and cook for about one minute or until lightly golden brown. Flip and cook the opposite side (and edges too if desired).

💭 Angela's Pro Tips & Recipe Notes

• Heat the optional (drained and rinsed) black beans until warmed, either in the microwave or in a skillet. Heat the skillet with a drizzle of olive oil to medium heat, then cook the beans until warm.
• Make your white rice with cilantro and lime juice by adding the juice of 1 large lime plus ¼ cup fresh, chopped cilantro. Mix then layer with the other fillings.
