  • Prep Time 20 minutes
  • Cook Time 160 minutes
  • Yield 8 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 4 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
  • ¾ cup minced fresh cilantro
  • 5 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon chipotle chile powder
  • 2 pounds flank steak
  • 8 burrito-sized flour tortillas
  • desired fillings: rice, beans, guacamole, salsa, sour cream and cheese


Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, orange juice, vinegar, cilantro, jalapeno, garlic, salt, oregano, cumin, black pepper, and chipotle chile powder.
  2. Reserve ¼ cup of the marinade for later use as a topping.
  3. Place the flank steak in a zip-top bag and pour the remaining marinade over it. Seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 24 hours.
  4. Preheat the grill to high.
  5. Remove the steak from the marinade, discarding the marinade used for marinating.
  6. Grill the steak according to your desired doneness (about 7 to 10 minutes per side for medium, reaching an internal temperature of 135 to 145℉).
  7. Allow the steak to rest for 10 minutes before slicing it against the grain.
  8. Serve the sliced steak in tortillas with desired fillings, and drizzle with the reserved marinade.

Notes

Marinating the steak for longer enhances flavor; try to marinate overnight for the best results.
Customize your burrito with extra fillings like grilled veggies or spicy salsa for an extra kick.
