    • 1 teaspoon (5g) chili powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5g) salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5g) black pepper
  • For the Burritos:
    • 4 large flour tortillas
    • 1 cup (150g) cooked white rice
    • 1 cup (240g) black beans, drained and rinsed
    • 1 cup (150g) shredded lettuce
    • 1/2 cup (75g) diced tomatoes
    • 1/2 cup (75g) diced red onions

    • 1/4 cup (60g) sour cream
    • 1/4 cup (60g) guacamole
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Method of Preparation

  1. In a large bowl, combine minced garlic, lime juice, orange juice, soy sauce, olive oil, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  2. Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade.
  5. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
  6. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
  7. Warm the flour tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side until pliable.
  8. Lay each tortilla flat and add a portion of sliced steak in the center.
  9. Top with cooked white rice, black beans, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, diced red onions, shredded cheese, sour cream, and guacamole.
  10. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly to form a burrito.
  11. Cut the burritos in half if desired and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh cilantro if you like.

Tips for Culinary Success

  • For extra flavor, marinate the steak overnight.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the steak is cooked to your preferred level of doneness.
  • Customize your burritos with additional toppings like jalapeños, salsa, or corn.
