Forthe Carne Asada:

  • ¼ cup Olive Oil
  • ¼ cup Soy Sauce
  • ¼ cup Orange Juice
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 2 Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
  • ¼ cup Cilantro chopped
  • 2 teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin

Forthe Burritos:
  • 4 Burrito Size Flour Tortillas
  • 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
  • ½ cup Refried Beans

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all the carne asada ingredients except for the steak.
  2. Add the steak to the marinade and turn it a few times to make sure it’s completely covered with the marinade
  3. Cover and refrigerate for 2-4 hours but no more than 8 hours.
  4. Preheat a grill over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and let the excess marinade drip off the steak.
  5. Place directly on the grill and cook with the lid closed on the grill for 4-8 minutes per side (depending on the thickness of the steak) until the steak reaches an internal temperature of 135-145 degrees F.
  6. Remove the steak from the grill and allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes. Slice the steak thinly against the grain and chop into bite-sized pieces.
  7. Assemble the burritos.
  8. Warm the tortilla but either microwaving them for 30 seconds or placing them on the grill to warm them for 30 seconds.
  9. Lay the tortillas out on a work surface.
  10. Spread the refried beans evenly onto the middle of each tortilla. Top evenly with the beef, pico de gallo, diced avocado, cilantro and shredded cheese.
  11. Fold the left and right edges inward toward the middle to seal the ends. Roll the tortilla around the ingredients in the center. Continue this process until all the burritos are formed.
  12. Then the burritos are ready to cut in half, serve and enjoy!
