Carne asada mission style burrito recipe

  • Kitchen Items
    • Mixing bowl
    • Grill or oven
    • Saucepans (for rice and beans)
  • Carne asada
    • Flank steak
    • 3/4 cup olive oil
    • 4 Tbsp lemon juice
    • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
    • Salt
    • Pepper
  • Mission style burrito
    • Burrito size tortillas
    • Carne asada
    • Mexican rice
    • Pinto beans
    • Colby jack cheese
    • Salsa
    • Additional toppings/veggies/etc.
  • Prepare the carne asada marinade by mixing all of the ingredients together. Put flank steak and marinade in marinating bag. Rub marinade into the steak, seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Cook flank steak, either on grill or in oven, until it reaches desired 'done' level (I went with a medium-well). At the same time, cook beans and rice in saucepans, according to package directions. Place tortilla on grill, or in oven, for a few minutes, in order to warm it and make it pliable. Construct the burrito in this order:
      • Rice
      • Cheese
      • Beans
      • Meat
      • Salsa and anyother toppings/veggies/etc
  • To fold the burrito, follow the instructions and photos below:
Fold the sides in first

Fold the top over, tucking the burrito as you fold
