Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 3 units garlic cloves
- 1 unit jalapeño, seeded and minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 units large romaine lettuce leaves
- 0.5 unit red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 unit avocado, sliced
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 4 units radishes, thinly sliced
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, orange juice, coconut aminos, minced garlic, minced jalapeño, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together to create the marinade.
Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it's well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for best results.
Preheat your grill to high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and let it come to room temperature while the grill heats up. Discard the marinade.
Grill the steak for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
To assemble the burritos, place two large romaine lettuce leaves slightly overlapping on a plate. Layer with a few slices of carne asada, red onion, avocado, cilantro, and radishes.
Fold the edges of the lettuce leaves over the filling and roll up into a burrito shape. Serve immediately and enjoy your paleo carne asada burrito!
