Time 3h20m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 lbs flank steaks (marinated in Cilantro Lime marinade, cooked, and chopped)
1 tablespoon sour cream (to taste)
2 tablespoons guacamole (homemade or pre-made)
8 French fries (should be large, soft friesÃ not the hard, skinny kind)
8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese (to taste)
1 flour tortilla, per burrito
1 cup cilantro, lightly chopped
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/4 cup olive oil
3 garlic cloves
1 jalapeno, lightly chopped for un-spicy remove the seed
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

Combine the Cilantro, Lime Juice, Olive oil, Garlic, Jalapeno, salt and pepper in a food processor for less than one minute or until the texture is nice and chunky. Be sure the garlic is fully processed. If you don't have a food processor you can make the marinade by dicing the cilantro, jalapenos and garlic very lightly and then mix the ingredients in a bowl with a fork.
Marinate the steak in the cilantro lime marinade for 2-3 hours in the fridge (*do not marinate overnight as the lime has begun the cevice process!).
Cook the steak. Lightly grease the grill grates of an outdoor grill. Heat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and season it on both sides (lightly) with salt and pepper. Cook the steak on the grill, flipping once, until the steak has reached your desired doneness. Once the steak has finished cooking, remove it from the grill and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. Slice the steak across the grain into thin slices.
Cook and salt the fries in the oven according to package directions, we want the big soft poofy fries, not the small hard little ones.
Warm the tortilla and lay it out on a flat surface. Place your toppings from one edge of the tortilla about 2/3 of the way to the other edge. Steak, cheese, guac. sour cream and top with the french fries (or your prefference) Don't stack your pile more than 1-2 inches wide and an inch high. If you fill your burrito too full, you might not be able to seal it.
Munch it!

1 dash hot sauce
carne asada meat

guacamole

Steps:

Meat:.
Lay the meat out flat and season liberally with salt and pepper. Cut meat into 1/4 inch pieces. Place meat in a zip lock bag and add fine diced onions and lemon/lime juices. Mix well and refrigerate for at least 30 min., up to 24 hours.
Pico De Gallo:.
Fine dice all ingredients and mix well. Cover and refrigerate, stir occasionally.
Guacamole:.
Place avocado meat in a bowl and mash well with a fork, season to taste by adding remaining ingredients. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing plastic down on the guacamole to remove any air, and refrigerate. (this prevents browning).
Carne Asada Burritos:.
Warm the tortillas in a microwave under a wet paper towel, one at a time. (about 20-30 sec.) Or wrap tortillas in foil and place in the oven at 350 for 10-15 minute You want them warm and pliable for wrapping.
On high heat add a teaspoon of oil to a medium sized skillet. ( I prefer cast iron) When oil begins to smoke add 1/4 to 1/3 pound of carne asada meat and onions. Sear the meat until brown on both sides. Place the meat and onions in the center of a warm tortilla. Add pico de gallo, guacamole, (and french fries and/or cheeses if desired) and fold in the sides to form a burrito. Serve hot.
Note: Meat seems to cook best in small batches, it gets chewy if cooked all at once. I cook enough for just one or two burritos at a time.
