California Burritos
Try a California Burrito stuffed with seared steak, crispy fries, gooey cheese, guac, and sour cream. You’ll need two hands for this one!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds flank steak
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 3 large flour tortillas 12 inches or larger
- 2 cups frozen French fries cooked until crispy
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese about 4 ounces
- 1 cup guacamole
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
Instructions
- SEASON STEAK: In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon chili powder, and ½ teaspoon cumin. Pat the seasoning evenly onto both sides of the flank steak.
- SEAR: Heat 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the flank steak and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until well browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
- REST AND SLICE: Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain, then cut into bite-sized pieces.
- WARM TORTILLAS: Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 10 to 15 seconds until pliable.
- ASSEMBLE: Divide the steak evenly among the tortillas. Top each with French fries, shredded cheddar cheese, guacamole, and sour cream.
- ROLL: Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll tightly into burritos.
- SERVE: Serve immediately, garnished with fresh cilantro.
Notes
Make-Ahead: The steak can be cooked up to 2 days ahead and reheated gently before assembling the burritos.
Storage: Wrap leftover burritos tightly in foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
Reheating: Reheat wrapped burritos in the microwave or air fryer until warmed through. For a crisp exterior, warm in a skillet for 1 to 2 minutes per side.
Ingredient Note: Flank steak is lean and flavorful. Skirt steak works equally well if available.
