#EverythingIsAwesome Breakfast Burrito

I made this for the first time a few weeks ago and I haven't stopped thinking about it since! In my household this steak and egg burrito is affectionately known as the "#EverythingIsAwesome Breakfast Burrito." The tender, juicy steak is paired with sweet onions, and then combined with scrambled eggs and creamy, nutty gruyere cheese. It is simply wonderful. There is nothing ground breaking about this dish, but the combination of flavors just work! Excuse me while I make an emergency trip to the grocery store so I can make this now...

To make 2 dinner servings (4 wraps) you will need:

• 1 Tbs BUTTER
• 1 small ONION, sliced thin
• 8 oz. STRIP STEAK
• 3 EGGS
• 4 medium sized TORTILLAS (we used the "fajita" sized)
• 1/2 cup GRUYERE CHEESE
• SALT & PEPPER, to taste

Melt the butter in a skillet and then saute the onions in the butter for about 15 minutes or until they are caramelized. 

While the onion is caramelizing, heat a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat and season the steak with salt and pepper.

Once the cast-iron pan is hot, cook the steak for a few minutes on each side.

Note: The cook time will depend on how thick your steaks are. Our steaks were extremely thin so they cooked up after 2 minutes on each side. If your steaks are fairly thick you may need to cook them for up to 5-6 minutes on each side.

When the steaks are cooked, take them off of the heat and allow them to rest for about 5 minutes. While the steak is resting, whisk up the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper and then scramble them until sightly firm.

After the steak has had time to rest, slice it thinly against the grain.

To assemble the wrap, spoon some of the scrambled eggs onto the tortilla, lay a few pieces of steak on top, add some grilled onions, and lastly top with the gruyere cheese.

How beautiful does that look?!? I would eat this every week if I could!

Ok, I'm going to have to make this again soon... writing up this recipe has made me hungry!
