Ingredients

Carne Asada:

• 1 lb skirt or tri-tip steak, cut into thin strips
• 2 limes, juiced
• 1 orange, juiced
• 1 Tbsp dried oregano
• 1 Tbsp kosher salt

Salsa:

• 1 large tomato
• 1 jalapeno, sliced in half lengthwise
• 1 white onion, cut into chunks
• 3 cloves garlic
• Olive oil to coat
• Kosher salt

Red Rice:

• 1 cup short grain rice
• 1 tbsp oil
• ½ white onion, finely chopped
• 1 8oz can tomato sauce
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tsp chicken bouillon powder

Beans:

• 1 can pinto beans
• 1 cup water
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp salt

To Assemble:

• Large flour tortilla
• Shredded mexican cheese
• Finely chopped white onion
• Chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, season the cut steak with the lime juice, orange juice, oregano and salt. Toss to evenly combine everything and set aside. In a cast iron pan or baking dish, add the cut onion, tomato, jalapeno and garlic, toss with oil and salt and bake at 400F for 45 minutes.
2. To make the rice: Heat a large pot or skillet over medium heat and add the oil and rice, toast the rice slightly, about 2-3 minutes then add in the chopped onion and tomato sauce. Stir and bring to a simmer, then add in the water and chicken bouillon powder, reduce heat to low. Cover with a tight fitting lid and cook on low until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is fluffy, about 15 minutes.
3. To make the beans: Add the pinto beans to a pot along with water, cumin and salt and cook on medium heat until the beans are heated through and start to fall apart slightly, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Remove the salsa vegetables from the oven and let cool slightly, add to a blender and puree until just smooth, but still a little chunky.
5. Heat a large skillet over high heat with a little oil and sear the strips of beef until crisped, they will only take a couple minutes and work in batches so it doesn’t crowd the pan. Remove to a cutting board and dice into chunks.
6. To assemble: layer a flour tortilla with cheese and melt in a skillet or broiler. Add a layer of red rice, a layer of beans, a pile of cut beef, a drizzle of salsa, then chopped white onion and cilantro. Roll up the burrito and toast, seam side down in a skillet to seal. Slice in half and enjoy.
