Strip Steak Burritos

Who doesn’t love a warm burrito? A perfect. compact meal, all rolled up in a flour tortilla. Burritos should be warm,  so for me, any cold condiments or veggies can be served on the side. I am a California girl after all and the burritos I grew up with were strictly, beans, rice, meat and cheese…oh how I miss California some days…

Ingredients

For Steak
2 strips steaks (1 pound total)
*spices are all to taste
Salt
Fresh cracked pepper
Granulated garlic
2 chipotles in adobo, minced
Juice of 1 lime
Grapeseed or canola oil

You will also need
1 cup refried beans
1 cup cooked rice

1 cup jack cheese, shredded
1 cup of your favorite salsa
4 flour tortillas for burritos 10 to 12 inches in diameter

Directions

1. Season the steaks, to taste with the dried seasonings on both sides. Set aside. In a small bowl, combine the lime juice and minced chipotle. Taste for salt. 

2. Preheat stove top grill pan or cast iron skillet to medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes. When it begins to smoke lightly, drizzle in about 2 tablespoons of oil. Cook the steaks for 3-4 minutes per side for medium rare in the middle. As soon as steak comes off from the heat, brush them generously with the chipotle/lime.  If you would like them more well done, add an an additional minute per side. Transfer steaks to cutting board and let them rest for 5 minutes.

3. Slice the steaks, thin, and against the grain. Warm the tortillas and fill each with 1/4 cup beans, 1/4 cup rice,  1/4 cup cheese, 1/4 cup salsa and sliced steak. Roll up tight. Serve as is or transfer to hot griddle. Drizzle or brush with a little oil and brown in preheated pan or griddle until slightly crispy on both sides. Serve right away.  Garnish with salsa. Yields 4 servings.

 

Strips steaks are quick and easy to grill indoors or on the outdoor grill. The picture above is from this past summer’s grilling.
