Begin by marinating the flank steak. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Rub the mixture all over the steak and let it rest for 15-20 minutes or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
While the steak marinates, prepare the cauliflower rice. Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until tender. Season with a pinch of salt, then set aside.
Make the guacamole by mashing the avocado in a small bowl. Stir in fresh lime juice and a pinch of salt to taste. Set aside.
Dice the cherry tomatoes, cilantro, red onion, and jalapeño (if using) to create a fresh pico de gallo. Combine them in a small bowl and add a splash of fresh lime juice and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of avocado oil. Once hot, cook the marinated steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired doneness.
Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then, slice it thinly against the grain for tender bites.
Assemble the Whole30 steak burritos by taking a large romaine lettuce leaf and layering it with cauliflower rice, steak slices, a dollop of guacamole, and a spoonful of pico de gallo. Optionally, drizzle with coconut aminos for an umami boost.
Wrap the lettuce around the fillings and serve immediately. Enjoy!
