For the Marinade

Method

For the Marinade

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a medium bowl, combine the lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped cilantro. Whisk until well mixed.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Steak

    Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag, making sure to remove as much air as possible. Massage the marinade into the steak and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

For the Burrito

  1. 3

    Cook the Steak

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the steak for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Burrito

    Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Spread a layer of refried beans on each tortilla, followed by slices of grilled steak, shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, and sliced avocado.

  3. 5

    Wrap the Burrito

    Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll from the bottom up to create a tightly wrapped burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Slice the burritos in half and serve immediately with additional salsa or sour cream on the side.
