Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds Carne Asada (or thin sliced steak)
- 2 tablespoons carne asada seasoning (see options above)
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 4 burrito-size tortillas
- 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans (drained, rinsed, and heated)
- 2 cups cooked cilantro lime rice (or Mexican rice, see notes above)
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese (or to taste)
- Pico de Gallo (to taste)
- guacamole (to taste)
- sour cream (optional)
- cilantro (for garnish)
- Fresh lime wedges (for garnish)
Instructions
- Use a sharp knife to cut carne asada into small bite-size dices. Season with carne asada seasoning toss together with seasoning until meat is covered in seasoning. Allow the meat to rest for about 10 minutes to come to room temperature and absorb the seasoning.
- Heat oil in a large skillet. When oil is hot, add diced meat and cook on high for 1-2 minutes or until meat is completely cooked through. Because the carne asada is already thin and diced up, it doesn't take very long to cook through. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Warm tortillas over a flat-top griddle or wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20 seconds or until soft and pliable.
- Add about 1/2 cup each of rice, beans, and cheese to each burrito, making a line down the center leaving about 2" of space on the sides.
- Top with pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream, and cilantro.
- To wrap the burrito, fold the bottom edge up over the filling, then fold in both sides tightly to enclose the ingredients. Keeping the sides tucked in, roll the burrito forward, pressing gently but firmly to create a secure, even wrap. For extra hold, place the seam-side down on a warm skillet for a few seconds to seal it.
- Enjoy immediately or wrap in foil for easy handling. Serve with fresh lime wedges for garnish.
