Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp lime juice
- 3 tbsp orange juice
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 4 low-carb tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 avocado, diced
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
In a shallow dish, combine olive oil, lime juice, orange juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, dried oregano, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create the marinade.
Place the flank steak in the dish, turning to coat it well with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Remove the steak from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature.
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Once hot, remove the steak from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off.
Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, for medium-rare. Adjust time for desired doneness.
Once cooked, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
On a flat surface, layer each low-carb tortilla with shredded cheddar cheese, slices of carne asada, sour cream, diced avocado, salsa, and chopped cilantro.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly to enclose, making a burrito.
If desired, heat the wrapped burrito on a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb carne asada burrito.
