Steps

1Sauté peppers and onions. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat (I love cast iron for this). Add the peppers and onions and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and beginning to caramelize, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer the veggies to a bowl and set aside.
2Sear steak. Increase the heat to medium-high, add the steak to the skillet, and cook until lightly browned. This only takes a minute or so on high heat if sliced thin. Transfer the steak to a plate and set aside. Reduce the heat to medium-low.
3Scramble eggs with cheese. Wipe out the skillet and spray with olive oil (or use a separate nonstick skillet for this). Whisk together the eggs and egg whites, pour into the pan, and scramble until just set. Stir in the cheese until melted.
4Assemble. Lay out your tortillas, then divide the peppers and onions, the cheesy eggs, and finally the steak evenly among them. Season with salt and pepper. Fold and roll each burrito tightly. If you are making these for meal prep, see notes below.
5Toast. Return the skillet to medium heat (wipe clean and brush with a little EVOO, if needed). Place each burrito seam-side down and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Serve with your desired toppings, and enjoy!
