  • Total Time: 1 hour 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Steak Marinade

  • 1 lb. flank, skirt, or bottom round steak
  • 2/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

Burrito Filling

  • 2 cups French fries
  • Homemade taco seasoning, to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup guacamole
  • 4 burrito-size flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Prepare Marinade: In a shallow dish, combine soy sauce, olive oil, chopped cilantro, lime juice, minced garlic, Kosher salt, and freshly cracked black pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Marinate Steak: Add the steak to the marinade and toss to ensure it is evenly coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours to allow the flavors to infuse.
  3. Prepare Fries: Cook French fries according to the package directions until crispy. Once cooked, season fries with homemade taco seasoning to taste for a flavorful kick.
  4. Heat Grill or Skillet: Preheat a large cast iron griddle, grill, or heavy skillet over medium-high heat to prepare for searing the steak.
  5. Sear Steak: Remove steak from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Place the steak slices on the hot grill or skillet and sear for about a minute on each side until the desired doneness is reached. Once cooked, let the steak rest for 5 minutes to retain juices, then thinly slice against the grain.
  6. Assemble Burritos: Lay out a flour tortilla and layer with one-quarter of the sliced steak, shredded cheese, seasoned fries, sour cream, and guacamole. Distribute the ingredients evenly to ensure balanced flavor in each bite.
  7. Roll Burrito: Roll the tortilla tightly around the fillings to form a burrito. Repeat the assembly and rolling process for the remaining tortillas and ingredients until all four burritos are complete.
  8. Serve: Slice each burrito in half if desired and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Marinating the steak for longer than 2 hours (up to 12) intensifies the flavor and tenderizes the meat.
  • Use fresh homemade taco seasoning to control sodium and spice levels.
  • For a crispier burrito, grill the wrapped burritos on the skillet for a minute on each side after rolling.
  • Substitute sour cream and guacamole with dairy-free options to make it lactose-free or vegan.
  • Choose gluten-free tortillas to accommodate gluten sensitivities.
