Around the Campfire
Steak and egg breakfast burritos are one of the best ways to turn last night's steak into a strong camp breakfast. They are portable, filling, and easy to toast on the griddle.
Why This Recipe Works
The Blackstone warms steak, scrambles eggs, and toasts tortillas in one workflow. The filling stays simple so the burritos fold cleanly.

Dragonfly Tip
Toast seam-side down first. It helps the burrito stay closed.
Dragonfly Challenge
Try one burrito with salsa inside and one with salsa for dipping. Pick the cleaner camp version.
