Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 pound Flank steak
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder (unsalted)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika (unsalted)
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 4 pieces Large whole wheat tortillas
- 1 cup Cooked brown rice (unsalted)
- 1 cup Black beans (unsalted, rinsed and drained)
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 large Avocado, diced
- 1 cup Tomatoes, diced
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely diced
- 0.5 cup Fresh salsa (low sodium)
- 0.25 cup Plain Greek yogurt (unsalted, optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, ground cumin, black pepper, smoked paprika, and lime juice to create a marinade.
Rub the marinade evenly over the flank steak and let it rest at room temperature for 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side for a medium-rare cook (or longer for desired doneness). Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.
Assemble the burritos by layering each tortilla with 1/4 cup of cooked brown rice, 1/4 cup of black beans, 2-3 slices of steak, a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, diced avocado, tomatoes, and onion. Add a spoonful of fresh salsa and plain Greek yogurt (if using).
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
Optional: Lightly toast the wrapped burritos in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes per side to seal and slightly crisp the exterior.
Serve warm and enjoy your low sodium steak burrito!
