Breakfast burritos are often stuffed with steak, eggs and beans; this bowl keeps those fillings and skips the tortilla. Use leftover rice if you have it to make it a 15-minute breakfast.
Why this recipe works
High heat browns the steak fast, and chili powder gives it a breakfast-burrito flavor. A runny yolk acts as a sauce for the rice.
Ingredient notes
Cook yolks firm for anyone at higher risk. Store-bought pico de gallo saves time.
Common mistakes
- Overcooking the steak cubes.
- Frying eggs on high heat.
What to serve with it
Hot sauce or salsa verde.
Meal prep
Prep rice, beans and steak; cook eggs fresh.

Cooking tips
Use leftover cold rice reheated with lime. Dry the steak well.
Swaps and variations
Use chorizo instead of steak, cooked to 160°F (71°C). Wrap everything in a tortilla.
Storing and reheating
Refrigerate within 2 hours for up to 3 days. Reheat gently; eggs best fresh.
