California Burritos are arguably the best burritos in the world. They are stuffed with thinly sliced, tender marinated Carne Asada, cheese, salsa, avocado crema and the best part - Mexican French Fries!!! These California Burritos are also freezer friendly, for an easy bake and serve dinner!

Instructions

Marinate carne asada according to recipe directions.
Add Avocado Crema ingredients to your blender and process until smooth. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Prepare French Fries according to directions. Set aside.
Grease grill and preheat to medium. Grill pineapple for 6-8 minutes per side or until lightly charred and caramelized. Chop pineapple and discard each core. (If you have room on your grill, grill pineapple alongside carne asada)
Grill marinated/rubbed Carne Asada according to directions.
Meanwhile, wrap tortillas in foil and place in a preheated 350F degree oven for 10 minute so they are warm and pliable (optional but recommended).
To assemble, layer carne asada in center of each burrito followed by, fries, cheese, avocado crema, salsa then pineapple. Fold in top and bottom and roll tightly in burrito style.
Optional: To brown burritos as pictured, lightly grease a skillet with olive oil and heat over medium high heat. Add burritos one at a time, rotating as each sides turns golden.
Garnish burritos with extra avocado crema, salsa and hot sauce to taste.

Notes

*You may substitute the Avocado Crema for sour cream and guacamole.
Cool Filling: Let carne asada and French Fries cool otherwise you will end up with soggy tortillas.
Assemble: Assemble California Burritos per instructions.
Foil: Wrap individual burritos up tightly in foil.
Freeze: Freeze burritos in a single layer on a baking sheet. This will help them freeze faster and not get squished.
Store: Add frozen burritos to a large freezer size bag, remove excess air and seal. Freeze for up to 3 months.
Bake: Remove frozen California Burritos from foil and place on a baking rack. Bake at 400 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until completely warmed through and toasted.
Microwave: Remove chicken burritos from foil. Microwave for approximately 4 minutes or until warmed through. If you want to crisp up your microwaved burritos, then you can broil in the oven or pan sear per instructions.
