Method

Lomo Saltado

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Slice the flank steak into thin strips. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add sliced onions and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.

  3. 3

    Stir-Fry the Steak

    Increase the heat to high, add the steak strips, and stir-fry until browned, about 5 minutes. Add soy sauce and diced tomatoes, and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Finish the Dish

    Remove from heat and toss in chopped cilantro. Set aside.

Cilantro Rice

  1. 5

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18 minutes or until rice is cooked and water is absorbed.

  2. 6

    Add Cilantro and Lime

    Once the rice is cooked, fluff with a fork and stir in lime juice and chopped cilantro. Set aside.

French Fries

  1. 7

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the potatoes into fries. Soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  2. 8

    Fry the Potatoes

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Drain and pat dry the potatoes. Fry them in batches until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, seasoning with salt to taste.

Burrito Assembly

  1. 9

    Assemble the Burrito

    On a large flour tortilla, layer cilantro rice, Lomo Saltado, and French fries. Fold in the sides and roll tightly. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  2. 10

    Serve

    Cut the burritos in half and serve warm.
