Servings:

Ingredients
  • 8 ounces frozen french fries
  • 1 pound thin strip, flank, or skirt steak, cut into cubes
  • Juice from 1 orange
  • Juice from 3 limes, divided
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 ½ teaspoons oregano
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 vine or roma tomatoes, chopped
  • ¼ cup finely chopped cilantro, divided
  • ½ red onion, diced
  • 1 cup cooked white rice
  • 1 avocado
  • ½ cup sour cream, divided
  • 4 10-inch flour tortillas
  • ¼ cup oil
Directions
  1. Cook the frozen french fries, according to the package directions. This should take about 25 minutes.
  2. Marinate the steak in the juice from the orange and 1 lime along with the garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, and soy sauce.
  3. Combine the tomatoes with ½ the cilantro, red onion, and the juice from ½ of a lime, then add salt to taste.
  4. Combine the rice with the juice from 1 lime, and the remaining cilantro, adding salt to taste.
  5. Mash the avocado until smooth, then stir in 2 tablespoons of sour cream, the juice from ½ lime, and a pinch of salt.
  6. When the fries are done, turn off the oven, and take them out to cool. Wrap the tortillas in foil, and put them in the still-warm oven.
  7. Heat a skillet over medium heat, then add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the steak and marinade to the pan, and cook for about 5 minutes, until the meat is browned.
  8. Divide the avocado sauce, and the remaining sour cream between the 4 tortillas.
  9. Fill each tortilla with ¼ of the rice, then top it with ¼ of the fries (there should be about 5 to 10 fries per burrito if you use the standard size).
  10. Place ¼ cup of carne asada on each of the burritos, arranging it on top of the fries.
  11. Divide the pico de gallo between each burrito, wrap each burrito tightly, and cut the burritos in half before you eat them. Leftover burritos can last for up to a week in the refrigerator, but should not be frozen.
