Carne Asada Burrito
Turn leftovers or carniceria meat into a So-Cal favorite with a fat and juicy Carne Asada Burrito, loaded with cheese, pico, guac, and all your other favorite toppings.
Ingredients
- 2 cups carne asada cooked and chopped, prepared
- 1 cup Mexican rice prepared
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups cheese shredded
- 1 cup Pico de Gallo
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup guacamole
- 1/2 cup cilantro chopped, fresh
- 1/2 cup red onion diced
Instructions
- Reheat 2 cups prepared carne asada from leftovers or from a carniceria. It should be sliced against the grain and diced into bite-sized pieces. Heat in a skillet over medium heat just until warmed through to retain tenderness. We do not recommend heating steak in a microwave.
- Reheat 1 cup prepared Mexican rice in the microwave on high in 30-second increments until warmed through, stirring between each for even heating.
- Place 4 large flour tortillas in between two damp paper towels and warm in the microwave on high in 15-second increments until warmed to the center, or use a tortilla warmer. Sprinkle 2 cups shredded cheese over the tortillas.
- Divide the hot carne asada and mexican rice over each tortilla, keeping the fillings in a center line for easy wrapping.
- Divide the toppings to top with 1 cup pico de gallo, 1 cup sour cream, 1 cup guacamole, 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, and 1/2 cup diced red onion.
- Fold up the bottom of the tortilla over bottom edge of the toppings. Use one side of the tortilla to center and shape the fillings and roll into a tight burrito.
