Ingredients:

- 1/4 cup (60ml) Fresh Lime Juice (from about 2-3 limes)
- 1/4 cup (60ml) Orange Juice (freshly squeezed is best!)
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce

- 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Dried Oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon Chili Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 lbs (680g) Flank Steak or Skirt Steak, trimmed of excess fat
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 cup (200g) Long-Grain Rice, rinsed
- 2 cups (475ml) Chicken Broth (low sodium)
- 1/4 cup (15g) Chopped Fresh Cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Lime Juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1/2 Yellow Onion, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 (15-ounce/425g) can Black Beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 teaspoon Cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon Chili Powder
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 4 Large Flour Tortillas (10-12 inch diameter)
- 1 cup (100g) Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese (or cheddar if you're feeling bold!)
- 1/2 cup (approximately) Salsa, your favorite kind (Pico de Gallo is great)
- 1/4 cup (approximately) Sour Cream or Mexican Crema
- Optional: Guacamole, chopped tomatoes, shredded lettuce
Instructions:
- Whisk together the marinade ingredients. Place the steak in a Ziplock bag or container, pour the marinade over it, and ensure it's well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
- Heat olive oil in a saucepan. Add the rice and toast for 1-2 minutes. Add chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through. Fluff with a fork and stir in cilantro and lime juice.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet. Sauté onion until softened. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add black beans, cumin, and chili powder. Cook until heated through, mashing some of the beans to create a thicker texture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Preheat your grill to high heat (or heat a grill pan). Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the steak for 3-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, for medium-rare to medium doneness (internal temperature of 130-140°F / 54-60°C).
- Let the steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain into thin strips.
- Warm the tortillas slightly (microwave for a few seconds or heat in a dry skillet). Layer the rice, beans, carne asada, cheese, salsa, and sour cream onto the tortilla.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll from the bottom up, tucking the filling in as you go.
- Serve immediately. You can optionally grill the burrito briefly to seal it and add a crispy exterior.
