Ingredients (Makes 4 burritos)
For the Steak:
1 lb (450 g) skirt steak or flank steak
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Burrito Filling:
4 large flour tortillas
1 cup cooked white or brown rice
1 cup black beans (canned, rinsed, and drained)
1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup diced tomatoes 🍅
1/2 cup diced red onion
1/2 cup chopped cilantro 🌿
1 avocado, sliced 🥑
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup salsa or hot sauce
Instructions
Prepare the Steak:
In a small bowl, mix chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Rub the spice mixture all over the steak.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for 4–5 minutes per side or until your desired doneness.
Remove from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
Warm the Tortillas:
Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 10–15 seconds to make them pliable.
Assemble the Burritos:
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Add a layer of rice, black beans, sliced steak, shredded cheese, tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro.
Top with avocado slices, sour cream, and salsa or hot sauce.
Wrap the Burritos:
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Optional – Toast the Burritos:
Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and toast each burrito seam-side down for 1–2 minutes, until golden and crispy. Flip and toast the other side.
Serve:
Slice the burritos in half and serve with extra salsa, guacamole, or a side of tortilla chips.
Tips for the Best Steak Burrito
Marinate the steak for an hour with lime juice and olive oil for extra tenderness and flavor.
Customize your burrito with additional toppings like jalapeños, corn, or lettuce.
