Mini California-Style Carne Asada and Potato Burritos image

This recipe is inspired by a burrito I get from a hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant in my California hometown. The best thing about this burrito is the french fries! I've made it for many friends and it is always a hit... I think my version might even be better than the original! This recipe makes mini-burritos for...

Time 2h20m

Number Of Ingredients 18

MEAT AND MARINADE
3 lb flank steak
1/4 c white vinegar
1/2 c soy sauce
4 clove garlic, minced
2 limes, juiced
1/2 c olive oil
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp paprika
salt and pepper, to taste
OTHER BURRITO INGREDIENTS
1 pkg extra crispy shoestring potatoes, frozen
2 pkg flour tortillas
2 c 4-cheese mexican blend, shredded
guacamole
sour cream

Steps:

  • 1. In a large glass baking dish, combine all marinade ingredients except for flank steak. Stir until well-combined. Add flank steak and immerse into marinade, turning over to completely coat. Cover and refrigerate for anywhere between 1 hr and overnight, but no longer.
  • 2. Bake shoestring potatoes on a baking sheet according to package directions. Once cooked, set aside.
  • 3. While potatoes are baking, heat a large grill pan or skillet to medium-high heat. When pan in hot, place marinated meat in pan and cook for a few minutes on each side, to desired doneness. Once cooked, place on cutting board and allow to rest for a few minutes. Once rested, cut meat into small, bite-sized cubes. Set aside.
  • 4. Heat a large skillet to medium heat and spray lightly with cooking spray. Place one tortilla into the pan and sprinkle enough cheese to almost cover the surface, leaving about 1 inch of tortilla uncovered all around. Heat until cheese is just melted and bottom begins to brown and crisp.
  • 5. To assemble, place warm tortilla on a plate. Add about 1/4 c of meat toward the bottom of tortilla. Next, place about 4-5 potato pieces on top of meat. Add as much guacamole and sour cream as desired.
  • 6. Begin rolling tortilla from bottom, folding sides in as you roll. Cut burrito in middle. Repeat steps 4-6 for more burritos!
