1-Gathering and Marinating the Ingredients: Getting started with this Carne Asada Burrito begins with preparing the marinade, which infuses the meat with incredible taste. Combine lime juice, garlic, cilantro, and spices to create a flavorful mix, then let the skirt steak marinate for at least one hour. This step is key to unlocking those fresh ingredients that make your burrito stand out.

2-Gathering and Marinating the Ingredients: While the steak marinates, gather the rest of your supplies like the 6 large flour tortillas and 2 cans or 2 1/2 cups of warmed refried beans. For a quick tip, if you have leftover steak from another meal, check out our Enchirito recipe for ideas on repurposing proteins. This preparation sets the stage for a burrito full of authentic flavor that comes together in under 45 minutes total.

3-Grilling and Assembling the Burrito: Once marinated, grill the steak at medium-high heat for 4-6 minutes per side until it’s cooked just right, then let it rest before slicing thinly. Warm your tortillas on a grill or in a dry pan for 30 seconds per side and cover them with foil to keep them soft. According to the directions, spread the warm refried beans over the bottom center of each tortilla, then layer on the sliced carne asada, 6 ounces of shredded jack cheese, 2 medium avocados thinly sliced, sour cream to taste, and hot sauce if you like it spicy.

4-Grilling and Assembling the Burrito: Fold the bottom edge over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll it into a tight cylinder for that perfect burrito shape. You can serve them right away or wrap in foil and keep warm in a 250°F oven for later. If you’re adapting for dietary needs, adjust grilling times for vegan substitutes like tofu. With these steps, you’ll master how to make Carne Asada Burrito that’s packed with fresh ingredients and ready for your table.
