Instructions

To prepare the Carne Asada:
    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large bowl, combine the orange juice, lime juice, onion, garlic, and bay leaves.
  2. Add the steak, making sure it is fully covered in the marinade, cover the bowl, and refrigerate for 4 hours or up to overnight.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, thyme, oregano, cumin, and red pepper.
  4. Set an outdoor grill over high heat or an indoor grill pan over medium high heat.
  5. Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry. Sprinkle each side with the salt mixture.
  6. Place the prepared steak on the heated grill. Cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  7. Remove the steak from heat and set aside from 10 minutes. Thinly slice the steak against the grain, then in bite size pieces. Set aside.
To assemble the burritos:
  1. Place a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon butter.
  2. Once melted, add the hash browns in a single layer. Do this in batches if needed to avoid over-crowding the pan.
  3. Cook until crispy on each side and season with salt. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  4. Place the pan back on the stove over medium-low heat and add another tablespoon of butter.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Pour the eggs into the heated skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly scrambled. Remove from heat.
  7. Place a large tortilla on work surface. Add a few pieces of the eggs, hash browns, shredded cheese, salsa, and cooked Carne Asada. Take care not to overfill.
  8. Fold in the sides, then wrap the burrito up to seal. Repeat with remaining tortillas and ingredients.
  9. Place the wrapped burritos back on the grill or indoor grill pan over medium heat.
  10. Cook on each side until golden and heated through enough to melt the cheese.
  11. Serve immediately with additional salsa if desired.
