1 lime, juiced
salt
pepper
2 tomatoes
1/2 onions, white or 1/2 red onion
1 jalapeno pepper, small
1/4 cup cilantro, fresh
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/4 lime, juiced
1/3 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 pinch oregano, dry
1 pinch chili powder
1 pinch cumin
2 avocados, large
1/4 cup pico de gallo
1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 lemon, juiced
1/4 lime, juiced
1 dash hot sauce
carne asada meat
pico de gallo
guacamole
flour tortilla, Large
olive oil
French fries
cheese, Mexican Blend

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.

Time 2h20m

Number Of Ingredients 18

MEAT AND MARINADE
3 lb flank steak
1/4 c white vinegar
1/2 c soy sauce
4 clove garlic, minced
2 limes, juiced
1/2 c olive oil
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp paprika
salt and pepper, to taste
OTHER BURRITO INGREDIENTS
1 pkg extra crispy shoestring potatoes, frozen
2 pkg flour tortillas
2 c 4-cheese mexican blend, shredded
guacamole
sour cream

Steps:

1. In a large glass baking dish, combine all marinade ingredients except for flank steak. Stir until well-combined. Add flank steak and immerse into marinade, turning over to completely coat. Cover and refrigerate for anywhere between 1 hr and overnight, but no longer.
2. Bake shoestring potatoes on a baking sheet according to package directions. Once cooked, set aside.
3. While potatoes are baking, heat a large grill pan or skillet to medium-high heat. When pan in hot, place marinated meat in pan and cook for a few minutes on each side, to desired doneness. Once cooked, place on cutting board and allow to rest for a few minutes. Once rested, cut meat into small, bite-sized cubes. Set aside.
4. Heat a large skillet to medium heat and spray lightly with cooking spray. Place one tortilla into the pan and sprinkle enough cheese to almost cover the surface, leaving about 1 inch of tortilla uncovered all around. Heat until cheese is just melted and bottom begins to brown and crisp.
5. To assemble, place warm tortilla on a plate. Add about 1/4 c of meat toward the bottom of tortilla. Next, place about 4-5 potato pieces on top of meat. Add as much guacamole and sour cream as desired.
6. Begin rolling tortilla from bottom, folding sides in as you roll. Cut burrito in middle. Repeat steps 4-6 for more burritos!
