Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ribeye steak
- 1 tablespoon chipotle powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 large romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 large avocado
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the steak. In a small bowl, mix the chipotle powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the ribeye steak dry with paper towels and rub the olive oil over the entire surface.
Sprinkle the spice mix evenly over the steak, ensuring all sides are coated.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
While the steak is resting, prepare the avocado sauce. In a small bowl, mash the avocado and stir in lime juice and a pinch of salt.
Dice the cherry tomatoes and chop the red onion finely.
Lay out the romaine lettuce leaves on a clean surface.
To assemble each burrito, spread a spoonful of avocado sauce onto a lettuce leaf, add a few slices of steak, and top with diced cherry tomatoes, chopped red onion, and fresh cilantro.
Fold the sides of each lettuce leaf inward and roll them up to enclose the filling like a burrito. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb chipotle steak burritos.
