Instructions

Directions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, add steak, oil, salt, paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin and black pepper, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, orange juice, and vinegar. Mix well to coat the meat. Cover, refrigerate and marinate for 1 hour to overnight (overnight is best). You can also add in a sealable plastic bag.
2. Next, make your Pico de Gallo. Cube tomato, dice red onion, finely chop cilantro and jalapeño, then mix them in a bowl, add salt to taste, and juice of 1 lime.
3. To make the guacamole, completely smash and combine garlic cloves, salt, avocados, cilantro, and juice of 1 lime.
4. For the French fries, peel skins off. Then slice the potatoes into long thin strips and put in a large bowl of clean ice water to remove some starch and stop the oxidizing process.
5. Continuing the French fry process, in a cast iron skillet fitted with a thermometer, or a small fryer, heat the oil until it reaches 350 degrees F. Remove the potatoes from the water and pat dry. Working in small batches, fry the potatoes until they go from shiny to matte, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from oil. Set on rack to drain. Sprinkle with salt.
6. To make the steak, grill the marinated meat to desired doneness on a hot cast iron pan. 6-8 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
7. Let meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing, then slice into small cubes. Now it’s time to build the burrito!
8. To assemble burrito, set tortilla onto flat surface, add guacamole, steak, Pico de Gallo, sour cream, and French fries Step 9 Roll up the burrito. Toast in pan on high heat for 30 seconds to 1 minute each side. Slice in half and enjoy!
