Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound flank steak skirt steak, or sirloin, thinly sliced (for protein)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for marinade and cooking
  • 2 cloves garlic minced (for marinade)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice for acidity
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin for flavor
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder for mild heat
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika for smokiness
  • Kosher salt to taste (for seasoning)
  • 4 large flour tortillas 12-inch (for wrapping burritos)
  • 1 cup cooked rice white, brown, or cilantro-lime (for base filling)
  • 1 cup black beans drained and rinsed (for fiber and protein)
  • 1 cup Mexican blend cheese shredded (for melty richness)
  • ½ cup pico de gallo or chopped tomatoes for freshness
  • ½ cup avocado slices or guacamole for creaminess
  • ¼ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt optional (for topping)
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped, optional (for garnish)
  • Hot sauce to taste, optional (for spice)

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add steak and toss to coat. Marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours if desired.
  2. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for 2–3 minutes per side until seared and cooked to your preferred doneness. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly across the grain.
  3. Warm the tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
  4. On each tortilla, layer rice, black beans, sliced steak, shredded cheese, pico de gallo, avocado, sour cream, and chopped cilantro as desired.
  5. Fold in the sides and roll tightly into burritos. Optionally, place seam-side down on a hot skillet for 1–2 minutes to seal and crisp the exterior.
  6. Serve warm with hot sauce if desired.
