Summer is here!! Finally. Summer for our family means time spent with friends around our pool, or at the beach enjoying all that the beautiful state of Michigan has to offer! This also adds up to many hours around the grill. One meal we never eat in the winter but often partake of in the Summer months is STEAK and POTATOES!
(Dontcha love my well seasoned pans?) Steak on the grill. Red potatoes roasted in the oven. Add a simple salad and VOILA! Summer eating at it’s finest!
I’m not sure about you, but I always make too much food. There is always a few potatoes and like half a steak left over. I hate to throw it away. Instead I’ve come up with this easy breakfast recipe to use up the leftover steak and taters.
Cut up leftover steak and potatoes into small cubes, chop up some onion and if you have red or green pepper chop that up too. Throw it in a skillet with a dab of melted butter and start sauteing. Whisk one egg with a splash of milk and drizzle over the skillet, mix ingredients around with a spatula until egg is cooked. You can add salt and pepper if you like, but I think the seasoning on the potatoes and the steak have enough flavor.
Now assemble your burritos.
Divide scramble in half and spoon into the middle of two tortillas, lay a slice of cheese or sprinkle with grated cheese, roll up. (Roll up method: fold one side in and tuck in the sides as you continue to roll away from you ending with the seam on the bottom.) Wrap in foil until ready to eat. These are easy to keep in the fridge for a day or two then pop in the microwave (with out foil) to warm. Honestly potato and steak breakfast burritos never last around here. I need to start making enough steak and potatoes so I have leftovers to make a meal out of these, so my kiddos don’t fight over them.
How do you use up your leftover roasted potatoes? I’d love to hear your ideas! Comment below!

Janey, I’m sorry to hear that. I will ask around and see if I can find out what the problem might be. xox Sheila
