Instructions

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steak, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, about 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the onions and bell peppers until soft.
Slice the steak into thin strips. Lay out the flour tortillas and divide steak and veggies among them. Top each with ½ cup of provolone cheese and roll it up burrito style.

Air Fryer Method

Combine the melted butter with the garlic powder and paprika. Brush each burrito with melted butter mixture.
Place the burritos in the air fryer basket, seam-side down. Air fry at 380°F (193°C) for about 6-8 minutes, or until golden and crispy. You may need to do this in batches.

Skillet Method

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Brush the burritos with the melted butter mixture. Place the burritos seam-side down and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
Cut the burritos in half and serve immediately. Accompany with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole if desired.

Notes

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