Instructions
Creating these delectable BBQ Pulled Beef Breakfast Burritos is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to achieve the perfect burrito:
Preparing the Pulled Beef:
- Season the Beef: Rub the beef chuck roast with smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
- Sear the Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and sear on all sides until browned. This step locks in the flavor.
- Slow Cook the Beef: Transfer the beef to a slow cooker. Add the chopped onions, minced garlic, BBQ sauce, and beef broth. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the beef is tender and easily shredded.
- Shred the Beef: Once cooked, remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker to soak up the juices.
Preparing the Burritos:
- Scramble the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add butter, and scramble the eggs until they are just set. Remove from heat.
- Warm the Tortillas: In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm each tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
- Assemble the Burritos: Lay a warm tortilla flat and spread a spoonful of sour cream in the center. Add a generous portion of pulled beef, scrambled eggs, shredded cheese, avocado slices, cilantro, and green onions.
- Roll the Burritos: Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly to enclose the filling.
- Serve: Serve the burritos warm with a side of salsa for dipping.
