Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Flank steak
- 2 tablespoons Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 large Whole wheat tortillas
- 0.5 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
- 1 medium Tomato, diced
- 1 cup Romaine lettuce, shredded
- 1 cup Brown rice, cooked

Instructions
In a blender or food processor, combine chipotle peppers, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth to create the marinade.
Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully covered. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with a paper towel.
Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
To assemble the burritos, lay out a whole wheat tortilla and spread 2 tablespoons of low-fat Greek yogurt down the center.
Layer onto the yogurt with a few slices of steak, a tablespoon of chopped cilantro, a spoonful of diced tomato, shredded romaine lettuce, a scoop of cooked brown rice, and a portion of black beans.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and then roll up from the bottom to form a burrito.
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
Serve immediately or wrap the burritos individually in foil for an on-the-go meal.
