Critical Success Points
- • Cook the beef until fully browned with no pink remaining
- • Do not over‑cook the scrambled eggs; they should remain soft and will finish cooking with residual heat
- • Melt the cheese using residual heat to avoid greasy texture
- • Seal the burrito seam at the bottom to prevent bursting during baking
- • Bake long enough for a golden, crunchy exterior
Safety Warnings
- • Handle hot skillet with oven mitts to avoid burns
- • Ensure ground beef reaches an internal temperature of 71°C (160°F)
- • Use caution when spraying oil near an open flame
