Notes

  1. Use a well-preheated skillet to ensure the steak gets a nice sear and locks in flavor.
  2. Feel free to customize the veggies based on your preferences or what you have on hand.
  3. For a cheesier experience, try different types of cheese like cheddar or mozzarella.
  4. If using an air fryer, cook the burritos in batches to avoid overcrowding for a crispier result.
  5. Leftover burritos can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months; reheat before serving.
  6. Warm tortillas before assembling to make them more pliable and prevent tearing.
