California Burritos
Filled with tender steak, creamy guacamole, pico de gallo, cheese, and French fries, this California burrito recipe is unique and has unforgettable flavor!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds flank steak cut into strips
- ½ cup lime juice
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1-2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 large tortillas
- 1 cup guacamole
- 1 cup pico de gallo
- ¾ cup cheddar cheese
- 2 cups French fries cooked
Instructions
- If you haven’t already, cook your fries according to the package directions.
- Place your steak strips, lime juice, olive oil, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and salt in a large bowl. Use a fork to fold the ingredients together and then cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Allow the steak to marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Cook the carne asada strips in a pan over medium-high heat for about 7 minutes, or until the reach an internal temperature of 165.
- Place a few strips of carne asada on each flour tortilla followed by French fries, guacamole, pico de gallo, and cheddar cheese.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and then roll the burrito tightly to prevent any filling from falling out.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- To cut down on your prep time a little bit, you can pick up some sliced stir fry beef instead of using flank steak.
- Feel free to use your favorite cut of french fry in these burritos.
- The larger the tortilla the better. This will allow you to pack more into the burritos and roll them up without anything falling out.
- In addition to cheddar cheese, you can also use pepper jack, monterey jack, or a mexican cheese blend.
- If you have extra time then you can allow your steak to marinate for longer. The longer the steak marinades the more flavor it will absorb, so if you need to let it sit overnight it will be perfectly fine.
- We like to serve these burritos fresh; however if you have a leftover one then it can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days. Wrap it in tinfoil or transfer it to an airtight container. Reheat your leftover burrito for 45-60 seconds in the microwave.
