Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 pound carne asada steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 cups frozen French fries
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup guacamole
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 whole lime
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Add the carne asada steak, coating it evenly with the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
While the steak is marinating, prepare the French fries according to the package instructions, either baking or frying them until crispy. Set aside.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated carne asada steak for about 3-5 minutes per side, or until the desired doneness is achieved.
Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat, about 30 seconds on each side.
To assemble each burrito, lay a tortilla flat and arrange a quarter of the sliced carne asada steak down the center. Top with 1/4 cup of French fries, 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, a scoop of sour cream, and a scoop of guacamole.
Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and squeeze a little lime juice over the top.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll up from the bottom, tucking in the edges as you go, to form a burrito.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make a total of 4 burritos.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your hearty California burrito!
